Diane McIntyre, who belongs to St. Joseph Parish in Mayfield, and is an active member of Belleville TEC in the Diocese of Belleville, Ill., was recently named a recipient of the TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) 2022 Spirit of TEC Award. The award states the following: “When Diane’s original TEC center in Western Kentucky became inactive, she searched for another community to join, and we are so blessed that she chose us in Belleville. Her faith life and living of the Paschal Mystery is very evident when you meet Diane. She freely shares her faith with everyone she meets. Part of her living out the Paschal Mystery happened recently when a tornado hit near her home and surrounding area. She was active in reaching out to people in need during this time, even though her workplace was affected by the tornado. Diane is currently serving on the Belleville TEC Board and has recently been selected as our Chairperson. She has such an enthusiasm for TEC, inspires us all to get more involved, and urges us to come up with creative ways to promote and enliven the TEC community in our area. Diane is a great supporter to our youth and we are privileged to have her as part of our community.”
