Basic Christian Communities
There is a presence of the Basic Christian Communities in the archdiocese. At the 10th biennial congress held in Trinidad in September 2000 it was recognized that there are one hundred and seventy three (173) registered Basic Christian Community groups some of which are in the dioceses of St. George’s in Grenada and St. Vincent & the Grenadines. The biennial assembly provided for the coming together of the members of the various groups and the sharing of their reports on their growth and problems.
One of the parishes in the south, La Brea, has also been cultivating the presence of Basic Christian Communities as a means of meeting the pastoral challenges of that widely spread community. Sr. Paul Clarke who is the pastoral assistant in the parish is the leading person in this area.
Some priests under the banner of the ‘new image of parish’ have tried this method in some of the parishes in the archdiocese. Erin, Toco.

There are Charismatic Prayer Groups in most of the worship centres of the archdiocese and the membership in this movement exceeds 30,000 persons who regularly attend their weekly prayer meetings.
A National Service Team cares for the growth and activities of this movement. The Spiritual Director is Fr. Urban Hudlin O.P. and the Lay Coordinator is Ms. Deborah de Rosia.
The Towers of Strength prayer group is located in the Financial Centre, downtown POS and has a membership of three hundred (300) persons.
The real strength of this movement is its parish base. There are over 30,500 active members who attend weekly prayer meetings at one of the prayer groups in the various worship centres (parish communities) of the archdiocese.
