You can expect a FIAT event to take place about four or five times a year, and there is always one within the weeks following a TEC Retreat.
In June 2019, the TEC Spiritual Formation Team and Community Ministry Team developed a night of Adoration, Praise & Worship, Confession, and Fellowship for the TEC Community. It was named "FIAT" and replaced an event called "ConTEC."
"Fiat" is a Latin word that means "let it be done." This word was spoken by the Virgin Mary when the Angel Gabriel announced to Her that She would conceive and bear a son named Jesus. Our Blessed Mother's "fiat" is Her constant "yes" to God's Will for Her whole life, beginning at that moment (the Annunciation). FIAT serves as a reminder that Fo(u)rth Day is a continuous thing, and that we can still freely say "yes" to God's Will each and every day, just like Our Lady. It may sound complicated to do, but we do not have to do this alone... we have Christ, the Communion of Saints, and the entire TEC Community with us!
