WITH NET CANADA
NET teams (National Evangelization Teams) are groups of young adults (late-teens/early twenties) who volunteer to travel across Canada offering exciting and engaging Catholic youth retreats to schools and parishes. This year a NET team of 9 young people will be coming to Newfoundland, and offering a retreat at St. Edward’s Parish, CBS on Friday October 24th and Saturday the 25th. Youth from grades 8–12 are invited to attend. The retreat will run from 6:30–9pm on Friday and continue Saturday from 10am–4pm followed by a parish Mass at 4pm.
Lunch will be provided on Saturday and an optional supper available after the 4pm Mass for those who wish to stay.

There is no cost. However, if you or your child wishes to attend, please contact St. Edward’s Parish office by phone (709 834–9481) or email (Stedwardsparish@outlook.com) to register so we can plan for food and space accordingly (please specify if you wish to stay for the supper on Saturday).
