History of TEC
TEC has had a long and rich history since Fr. Matt Fedewa first came up with the idea in 1965 in Battle Creek MI. Fr. Matt was inspired by the renewed vision of the Catholic Church and the centrality of the Paschal Mystery to design a retreat experience which would bring the essentials of the Catholic faith into clear focus for high school seniors and young adults. The first TEC weekend was held October 9-11, 1965. During the following years the movement met with great success in the Lansing Diocese, and was shared with many other dioceses, both near and far. Today TEC is active in well over forty dioceses throughout the United States, the Bahamas, Canada, South America, Central America and Europe.
