MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL RETREATS coming!!!

NET Ministries
is returning to the Mid-Ohio Valley,
bringing a fun, high-energy retreat experience
with a straightforward Gospel presentation!

What's NET and what are NET retreats?

NET Ministries is an international youth ministry organization, with over 27 years of Catholic youth ministry experience. Ninety NET volunteers, ages 18 to 28, are sent out in vans each year across the United States in teams of 10 to 12. The retreat teams share their faith during retreats and will encounter 60,000 youth. Each team invites all they meet to give their lives to the only one who can satisfy their hungry hearts - Jesus Christ.

Team members proclaim the Gospel through great music, challenging talks, excellent speakers,
small group discussion, drama, and personal faith sharing.

The Goals of a NET Retreat are:

• To help young people understand and accept God's unconditional love for them.
• To offer the faith of the team members as a witness to the youth that faith in God is a desirable, acceptable, and exciting part of their lives.
• To encourage young people to grow in their commitment to Jesus Christ and His church.

NET Ministries: Challenging young Catholics to love Christ
and embrace the life of the Church

"This retreat has opened my eyes.  I was straying very far from God and constantly piling activities and other things on my plate, I no longer had Him in my life.  This retreat was a reminder of how important my faith is and that I can't keep putting it off until I'm in trouble and need it.  I was challenged to both make changes and grow in my faith.  My favorite part of the retreat was being able to individually reflect on my life and realize what and where I need to change.  This retreat helped me find a solid foundation to start establishing my life around."
