APRIL 2009: Port Area of Baseco Neighborhood Associations’ League (PABANAL)

Reported by: Fr. Cris Sabili, OSJ, Community Organizer

A total of 2,000 members of PABANAL Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC) joined a thanksgiving mass celebrated by Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales on April 30 at the Covered Court Compound of Barangay 649, Zone 68, in Baseco, Manila.

Immediately after, 240 PABANAL officers took their oath as servants of the community. The simple yet moving ceremony was led by the cardinal and SHEC leaders, Fr. Dexter Prudenciano, RCJ, Fr. Asis Bajao, and Fr. Christopher Sabili. Truly, the empowerment of lay leaders, especially poor ones, is a manifestation of the Kingdom of God at work in our on-going history.
