NET Retreat
In response to an urgent need to proclaim the Gospel to youth, 100 NET volunteers ages 18 to 30 are sent out in vans each year across the United States in teams of 10 to 12. The eight teams share their faith during retreats with 70,000 youth from September to May, and invite all they meet to give their lives to the only one who can satisfy their hungry hearts – Jesus Christ.
The purpose of a NET retreat is to proclaim the basic Gospel message and to invite young people to live their lives for Christ. The faith of the NET teams gives witness that faith in God is a desirable, acceptable and exciting part of their lives.
NET retreats last from four hours to ten hours, with the option of an overnight or weekend retreat. Though varying in length, format and theme, NET retreats combine a blend of fun, high-energy retreat experience with a straightforward Gospel presentation. Team members proclaim the Gospel through large group talks, small group discussions, music, drama, and personal faith sharings. Each retreatant is given the opportunity to respond to Christ in prayer, and/or the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation.
