Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is an experience in Catholic Christian living, designed especially for young people from juniors in high school age. TEC provides a space to reflect upon your ideals, hopes, dreams, and problems and to discover a God you can believe in, a Christ you can encounter as risen and alive in your midst. This program is offered twice a year within the Diocese of Grand Island at different locations.
