Upcoming NET Retreats

We are starting to get excited about welcoming the National Evangelization Team (NET) to Bolton for our grade 7 retreats next week.  
NET's mission, to challenge young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church, is accomplished by:

  • Proclaiming the Gospel of Christ through a personal witness of faith.
  • Inviting young people to live for Christ.
  • Forming young people in Christian character through the study and practice of our faith.
  • Equipping youth workers and young adults with the ministry skills needed for evangelization.
Really - it is a terrifically fun time that the students spend at the retreat centre - with Music, Skits, games, and times of prayer and reflrection.  The personal witness of the young retreat leaders to the young people on retreat is the most powerful element!

Here is a video - from NET USA - that sort of gives an Idea of what a retreat looks like (This prompted Stephanie to think about making something similar with our youth!)

Peace
