Together Encounter Christ
Changing Lives & Hearts in the St. Louis Archdiocese		 Logo

TEC—which stands for Together Encounter Christ—is a Catholic movement of spirituality for young adults, 18-24. Spirit of St. Louis TEC helps young people in the archdiocese deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ at a critical point in their faith journey. During these years, young adults are looking for answers to questions that will literally shape the rest of their lives:

  • Should I go to college? If so, what should I major in?
  • How do I know if I have a religious vocation? Is God calling me?
  • Will I ever get married? How do I find the right person?
  • What if I never marry or join religious life? Is life meaningful as a single adult?
  • Is it OK not to be sexually active? How do you come back if you already are?
  • What do I want to do with my life? What are God’s plans for my life?

    • TEC encourages young people to keep Jesus at the center of it all as they seek the answers to these and other questions. More than just a three-day retreat, Spirit of St. Louis TEC is a life-giving community of committed Catholics—single, married, clergy and religious alike. This multi-generational community mentors and ministers to the young people along their faith journey, encouraging them to daily live out the Paschal Mystery: to die, rise and go forth in Christ.

    The next TEC retreat weekends will be from Saturday July 12 through July 14, 2008, at St. Francis Borgia Regional High School in Washington, MO.
