What is NET?
For more than 30 years, NET Ministries has trained more than 2,300 young adults in how to share their faith across the country through personal witness to junior high and high school youth through retreats. These teams of young adults ages 18-28 live out of one suitcase each while spending nine months leading lively retreats and personal discipleship groups at various parishes and schools. This year, NET Ministries has 150 young adults split into 14 teams.
Faith & Fun
With an invitation from the bishops of each diocese visited, the teams encourage local youth to take a more active role in their faith. Each retreat features small group discussions, large group presentations, prayer ministry, lively games, dynamic music, dramatic and funny skits, and inspiring talks to motivate the teens to be unafraid to accept God in their lives.
NET Volunteers Here at Home
Anna and Joe Skillman— Pastoral Assistants for Youth Group and 
Confirmation at Saint Patrick Catholic Church both volunteered for NET Ministries after college and had a great time, noting that, “getting to know the host families was one of their favorite parts of the experience.” Now they reach out to NET Ministries for Confirmation and Youth Ministry retreats.
I saw men and women around my age loving God and it encouraged me to stay strong. What NET Ministries is doing is brilliant. They are encouraging, understanding, energetic, charismatic, and above all incorporate God into everything that they do.a young persons reflection of her experience
