Grow Your Faith


What do you do after you've made a TEC and you want to learn and do more?

Each person has their own preference in how they want to pursue and grow in his/her faith. We are all made in the image of Christ – but we are also all uniquely made and learn and grow in different ways.


Some ideas to grow in your faith include:
Get involved in TEC 
Get involved in your Church
  • You heard this suggestion in the Beyond TEC reflection. You grow when you share. Talk to your Pastor/Priest about how you can become involved in your Church.
​Pray/Worship
  • Start a Prayer Journal - any Journal works – and/or make notes on your phone - for specific prayer intentions (and how God answers them)
  • Start a Mass Journal - any Journal works
    • Examples of journals:
      • Every Sacred Sunday Catholic Mass Journals
      • Mass Journal Dynamic Catholic
      • One Sunday at a Time (Amazon)
  • Visit an Adoration Chapel (15 Minutes with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament)
    • ​Check out local Catholic church websites for times
  • Read a Daily Devotional
