Vision
We are a Credit Cooperative that responds to the stewardship aspiration of the Presbyterium.
Our Mission
To strengthen and expand the associational cooperative, promoting fraternal brotherhood in the priestly life, providing ministry through social and economic services to its members and the apostolate of the church.
A Brief History
1992
Bahay-Pari Credit Cooperative was established in 1992 by a group of priests from the Archdiocese of Manila. The initiative was born out of a desire to provide financial support and services to the clergy.
1997
Bahay-Pari Credit Cooperative was officially registered with the Cooperative Development Authority on October 30, 1997,
2016
In 2016, Bahay-Pari Credit Cooperative, an esteemed financial institution catering to the needs of the clergy and the broader church community, underwent a transformative change overseen by the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA). This change involved a significant rebranding effort, including the renaming of the cooperative to better align with its evolving mission and values.
Under the guidance and oversight of the Cooperative Development Authority, Bahay-Pari Credit Cooperative embraced a new identity, adopting the name "Solidaritas Credit Cooperative." This renaming reflected the cooperative's commitment to solidarity, mutual support, and community empowerment, while signaling its intention to expand its reach beyond its traditional membership base.
2019
SCC was established to support financial needs of its members, primarily within the clergy and church community. Over the years, SCC expanded its services, gaining a growing membership base. In October 2019, SCC marked a significant milestone by moving from its previous location in the BAHAY PARI BUILDING to its very own facility inside the San Carlos Seminary Complex in Guadalupe, Makati City. This move symbolized the cooperative's growth and its commitment to providing better services to its members in a more permanent and accessible location.
