This year, NET Ministries celebrated our 30th anniversary of challenging young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church.

While some things have changed and evolved over the years, our mission of proclaiming the Gospel has remained constant. With the support of so many friends and benefactors, NET has become one of the leading youth evangelization organizations in …

Hello fellow Team 3 followers! Praise the Lord for He has been so good to us. We have finished up our last diocese of Stockton, California and have spent the last week in the diocese of El Paso, Texas. It was such a blessing to be in Stockton, California because we got to go to two of our teammates’ hometowns where we met Jessica Jordan’s parents and David Sandler’s family. We first were at David’s home where we all ate …

We spent three days at the NET Center last week for the Benefactor’s Banquet.  It was great to be able to meet and personally thank so many people that have supported NET Ministries.  Before heading back to Lakeville, we met Fr. Kelly for dinner and rode the light rail into Minneapolis to Target Field for a Twins game!  Most of us had never been to a game, but we all love baseball so it was really fun.  We decked ourselves …

I am almost certain that we all experienced quite a mixture but as Padre Pio states: “Do not be frightened. Rejoice because when you least expect it, the Lord will make light shine in the darkness.” The partnership of NET and Providence Academy has been the beginning of a …
