The missions · NET Ministries

Our mission, our ministry.

We believe in delivering an authentic message of the Gospel through sharing our own experience of Jesus. It is through this peer-to-peer charism that the teams and their ministry have been formed.

Young people meet and encounter God in a different way at different stages of their lives. NET meets them through leadership formation, a school retreat, and three ways of living on mission.

Encounter

Since 1988, Encounter events have given young people a chance to encounter Jesus. Schools and parishes book them as retreat days, youth groups, rallies, or weekend retreats. The mission is under the patronage of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.
