Résumé

This study deals with various creative appropriations of some relevant Vatican II teachings for the renewal of the churches in the Philippines. It presents Vatican II’s influence on PCP II and how this is made concrete through the Basic Christian Communities. It looks into PCP II’s influence on parish life (with the latter’s traditional rituals and activities, its newly-organized ministries, programs, projects, and other practices) towards community organization, lay participation, and BEC formation.
