Handicapped Encounter Christ Ministry

Handicapped Encounter Christ is a ministry for adults with physical, mental, cognitive and/or sensory disabilities. It is based on the Cursillo movement of the Catholic Church. HEC brings together the communities of disabled and enabled adults so they can all get to know our Lord, Jesus Christ. During the year, we have many different events and annually there is a three-day HEC Retreat held each spring. We are always looking for participants to join this ministry — those that are disabled and those who are not — so that together we are one community learning from each other, enjoying each other’s company, and establishing many beautiful friendships together as we all get to know our Lord. 

The 2024 HEC Retreat takes place Thursday evening April 18th and ends Sunday afternoon April 21st.

PLEASE join our HEC #40 planning meetings for enabled adults who wish to volunteer and be of service on the Retreat weekend.

Our young people were really eating it up! I am referring to Fr. Liam McDonald‘s presentation last week to our women’s group of the Starfish Coffee House, with his topic “Our Gifts of the Holy Spirit”; how each person can discover the gifts – or tools – God has given us to use in our own way to build up his kingdom.
