Training of Team Members

The life of a team member is demanding, but a term of service with NET begins with an intensive five-week training program. Team members learn about:

• Personal and Communal Prayer
• Scripture, and living it out as a team
• Catholic identity, Christian character, and team development
• Content of the Gospel message and how to share it
• Ministry and evangelization skills
• Oneself, through the sacrament of confession made available by a Catholic Priest
• Most especially, growth in a personal relationship with Jesus through the sacrament of the daily Eucharist

You will be in an environment that includes intensive workshops, daily Mass, weekly Adoration, reflection on the lives of the saints, Reconciliation, individual and corporate prayer and small group discussions, you will obtain a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith and be given practical skills to effectively communicate this faith to others.

And, of course, you will get a chance to play some “ultimate frisbee”, dangle your feet off the lakeside dock, sing your heart out and get to know some pretty neat people called your teammates.
