TEC

━ brief

What happens at TEC?

Participants experience the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ through music, discussions, prayer, Scripture, liturgy, and celebration. Each retreat day has a central theme: “Die Day” focuses on the death of Jesus and invites reflection on relationships with God, self, and others. “Rise Day” celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the presence of God’s love in our lives. “Go Day” explores the call to spread the Good News and encourages participants to carry Christ’s message forward.

A Riverbend TEC weekend fosters spiritual growth through group activities and prayer experiences, while respecting each person’s faith and inviting everyone to open their hearts more fully to Jesus Christ.
