| TEC is based on Freedom |
|
It is very important to realize that TEC is a voluntary experience. Candidates must want to participate and are allowed to leave if
necessary. No one should be required to make a TEC in order to fulfill a graduation or confirmation retreat
requirement. Parishes and Schools are asked to respect this policy of the TEC community. TEC is an exercise in
freedom. A candidate may be “free to” participate, but may not be “free from” other parental, peer, or work
pressures. Parents and peers need to respect a candidate’s freedom to participate. |
| Age Requirements |
| Teens Encounter Christ is open to teens age 17 (must be attending classes
as a junior) through age 22. Teens attending classes in their junior year but who have not reached their 17 birthday will also
be accepted. Teens Encounter Christ is also available for adults over age 22 who wish to take an active role in the
TEC movement. |
| What are the details to participate in TEC? |
| TEC weekends are held three times a year at St. Mary’s Ireland, Indiana.
The weekend begins on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and ends Monday evening at 5
p.m (Eastern Times). You will need to bring clothes

recreation, and coats and jackets in season. Bring towels, washcloths, personal
hygiene articles, sleeping bag and pillow. |
