HEC Volunteer Opportunities Available (For Adults 18+)
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.
