The Office of Youth Ministry in Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is the
sponsoring department for the annual National Evangelization Team (NET)
Ministries Retreat Program. NET is Catholic Evangelistic outreach
program located in the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The team is comprised of 11 young adults range in age of 18-30, who have
a vibrant faith and have given nine months of their lives to travel
throughout the United States to share their faith with Catholic youth.
Using the retreat format, the team members blend a fun, high-energy
experience with a straightforward and personal presentation of the
Gospel message and how Jesus Christ has affected their lives. They use
large group presentations, small group discussions, music, games, skits,
prayer, personal testimonies, and the Sacraments to bring a deeper
spiritual awakening for Catholic youth and their families. NET offers a
wide variety of retreats for youth from grades 6th - 12th.
NET generally visits
the Archdiocese between January and March each year. Scheduling is done
through the Office of Youth Ministry in May of the previous year.
