BEC Hillview celebrates 33rd anniversary

IPOH: Formed in 1984, BEC Hillview, under the parish of St Michael, celebrated its 33rd anniversary recently.

The BEC has a history of inclusiveness. In its second year of formation, it had gathered more than 45 Catholic families. The BEC later split into two smaller groups for better management and to create stronger bonds amongst its members.

Today, this group of 12 families is helmed by a group leader from among the younger generation.

The gathering was at the home of Irene Chow, coupled with the celebration of the new liturgical year and the appointment of a new area group leader.

Pioneering area group leader Andrew Quah said that, through the BEC, the Church is brought into the homes of the parishioners.

“Most importantly, the family members ultimately realise the importance of lay people involvement and togetherness nurtured in line with the agenda and activities of the BEC that includes migrants,” he said.

He encouraged the attendees to ask questions so that everyone would appreciate and know what the BEC is all about, which would also further aid the growth of the BEC. The evening ended with a potluck fellowship among the members.
