BEC SS25 was formed in 1992. After a restructuring, SS25 was divided into two BECs – Philip Minh and St Emmanuel. Our patron saint is St Emmanuel, a Vietnamese priest and martyr who died for the faith.
AREA OF COVERAGE
SS25 St Emmanuel BEC covers all homes from roads SS25/1 to SS25/17, SS25/19, SS25/21 and SS25/23 including St Ignatius Church, PJ. There are 24 families in our BEC.
HOME COMMUNION
Our BEC has five communion ministers available to bring holy communion to members who are unable to receive this Sacrament in church such as the disabled, elderly & sick either at their homes or hospitals:
- Bernard Lee, Bridget Chang, Christiansen Ng, Reneboy Bautista & Rita Pang.
RECENT ACTIVITIES
(above) At the Prayer Gathering hosted by Bing and Antonio on 19 March 2026, members reflected on how their personal and communal lifestyles can express responsible stewardship and help restore harmony with creation. Ecology: Restoring Our Common Home was the Focus & Rationale of the March Reflection Paper. Among the ongoing initiatives mentioned by members were recycling of cooking oil, using own plastic bags for shopping & food containers instead of styrofoam/paper wrappings, and participation in the neighbourhood recycling programme.
(above) Members discussed several questions on belonging laid out in the month’s Reflection Paper with the Focus & Rationale of Church: Fostering Inclusivity – Conversion of Relationships. It was mentioned that often, exclusion is not intentional, but happens through habits, assumptions or silence. At the 13 February 2026 Prayer Gathering hosted by Angela and Elizabeth, members also reflected on how our BEC and parish communities can be places where belonging is real and every person is valued & cherished. Members also celebrated the birthday of Allan.
(above) In an auspicious start to the new year, 22 members made the 23 January 2026 Prayer Gathering hosted by BEC Coordinator Reneboy & Lailan one of our best-attended in recent years. The Focus & Rationale of the month’s Reflection Paper was Family: Building Trust – Conversion of Relationships in the Home wherein members were reminded that the home is the first school of faith & to let the peace of Christ control our hearts as we face the challenges of ever-changing family relationships. Members also celebrated the birthdays of Clive, Elizabeth, Reneboy & Winifred.
