NAGA CITY - The annual celebration of the Archdiocesan SKK (Saradit na Kristiyanong Komunidad) Day was held last February 7, Saturday, at the Archbishop Alberto Hall, Basilica Minore de Peñafrancia compound. 

The gathering was joined by more than 50 SKK Coordinators from the different parishes across the Archdiocese. 

In his message, Fr. Emmanuel Mojica, Chairperson of the Archdiocesan Office for SKKs, urged the Coordinators to focus on the sitios or barangays, which is at the core of building SKKs. He stressed the importance of having good relationships within and among the SKKs, highlighting values of communication and coordination. 

He also called on the Coordinators to be disciples of Christ -underlying the mission of SKKs, i.e, to evangelize. 

Lastly, Mojica emphasized that forming SKKs is a “way of life” and a “new way of becoming Church”, adding that SKKs strengthen the local Catholic Church.

Within the Archdiocese, some parishes have established and thriving SKKs, but for most, this remains a challenge.
