HISTORY
Renew Encounter Christ (REC) Sacramento was started when the St. Rose Youth Group attended a Recollection retreat weekend in Vallejo, CA. Enthused by the Holy Spirit, the St. Rose Youth Group brought what they learned from the Vallejo retreat back home to share with their peers. In 1987, under the directorship of John Havey, the first retreat weekend was held in the Sacramento area at the St. John Vianney Parish. With the blessing of Bishop Francis Quinn, under the spiritual guidance of Msgr. Edward Kavanagh, with the help of Sis. Conrada and Rollie Mamauag, the REC retreat movement has grown to touch the youth of many different parishes and communities of Sacramento and vicinity by teaching the importance of God, family, and friends. Today, the REC movement continues to be a dynamic way for us to reach out and bring Jesus Christ to others. Our purpose is to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ and to unite with Him and each other.
