Wow! That’s about all I can say to describe the incredible night we had last Wed night at our 9th grade NET retreat. The night started at 6:00pm and as the kids arrived, they were eagerly greeted by the NET team members. The NET members are college-aged students who travel across the country sharing their passion for the Catholic faith. Dinner was served at 6:30pm, and afterwards the night unfolded into a series of skits, music, personal testimonies, and small group discussions. The night wrapped up in the church with a powerful prayer service lead by the NET team leaders.

When asked what her favorite part of the night was, Lexi Duwa responded, “The small group sessions. We shared some really deep thoughts, things we would not normally talk about, and got to know more about the people in our class. Alison Riggan admitted, “I had a long day and when I came, I thought it would be a long night. But now, I am so glad I came.” Kory Schnoebelen’s favorite part of the retreat was the personal stories the NET leaders shared with the group. “I really liked everything said Kory, but the personal stories were what got to me the most.”

I also received many positive comments from parents of the 9th graders. They were very impressed with the enthusiasm and confidence they saw in their kids afterwards.

Peace and God's Blessings, Derick Cranston

Many of the Confirmation kids will be completing their “Talents & Treasures” projects over the next 3 months. Please support them in their efforts. Keep an eye out for raffles, bake sales after mass, etc. Also, I believe the Pink Flamingos will start appearing on people’s yards again!
