St. Dominic Small Christian Community (SCC)

About our community

St. Dominic Small Christian Community (SCC) is a vibrant and faith-filled group within the Holy Family Minor Basilica, established in 2010 following an adult catechism class of 2009/2010.

Inspired by their catechism lessons and devotion to the Holy Rosary, members chose St. Dominic as their patron saint — the saint entrusted with the Rosary by the Blessed Virgin Mary.
From its humble beginnings, St. Dominic SCC has grown into a community of 50 active members dedicated to prayer, service, and fellowship. The group continues to nurture spiritual growth, strengthen community bonds, and promote acts of charity in the spirit of St. Dominic’s zeal for preaching and devotion to truth.
