It is recommended that NO ONE serve on more than two (2) TECs in a twelve-month period, except in the case of an emergency. If you apply to serve on two TECs in a twelve-month period there should be at least one (1) TEC between them. You must completely fill out the application below. Also, a reference form must be returned before your application will be accepted and placed on file. You will be given a chance to print off the reference forms after you have filled out the application below and submitted it. After you print the reference form give it, along with a stamped envelope addressed to the TEC office, to your parish priest or an adult who is active within the TEC program. The application and reference form will be kept on file for one (1) year or until you serve on a team. After one (1) year or after you serve on a TEC team you will need to submit another Request to Serve application in order to serve on a future team.
The TEC Council reminds you that offering to serve our Lord through a TEC team is your commitment to the candidates and the other team members of that TEC weekend. This commitment means attending ALL of the team meetings, having your meditation ready to be critiqued if and when a meditation is assigned to you, to attend your weekend reunion, to attend the HOOT on the next TEC weekend that follows yours, and to keep active within the TEC program by doing wheat and sending wheat letters especially if you wish to serve on future weekends. If you encounter difficulties with any of the commitments - for the sake of the candidates and the other team members - please let the Director(s) know as soon as possible.
