BOWLING GREEN, Ky.—The TEC Conference, in conjunction with the Diocese of Owensboro, Ky., is holding its next Communities of Faith and Follow-Through (CF&F) Workshop, Aug. 15-17.
The three-day training event, held at Gasper River Catholic Retreat Center in Bowling Green, Ky., focuses on the vital role each TEC adult faith community plays in ministering to Catholic youth and young adults before, during and after the TEC weekends.
TEC — an acronym for Teens, Troops, Twenties, To and Together Encounter Christ — is a Catholic movement of spirituality for older adolescents and young adults founded in Battle Creek, Mich., in 1965.
Focusing on the paschal mystery, TEC helps 8,000 young people each year deepen their relationship with Christ and discern their vocation within the larger church.
Through celebration of the Eucharist, prayer, round table discussions and multimedia presentations, workshop participants will gain the resources to more effectively minister to the young people in their diocese; become prayerful and discerning TEC leaders; build partnerships both within their diocese and with other ministries; and live the Gospel and paschal mystery spirituality more powerfully.
In 2004, the TEC Conference Spirituality Committee developed the workshop at the request of local leaders wanting additional training. To date, eight other workshops have also been held in dioceses across the U.S.
The workshop cost is $160 per person. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. To sign up, download the brochure online at www.tecconference.org or contact Anna Conn, member of Western Kentucky TEC, at 270-781-2466 or annadc18@hotmail.com.
