    OPENING YOUR HOME TO YOUNG ADULTS FROM NET MINISTRIES 
    The young adults who lead our Middle School Confirmation Retreat travel around the country from September to May giving retreats for teens. At each parish, parishioners volunteer to house and feed team members during their stay. It is a wonderful experience! Please contact Rosie for details if you are able to offer two or more young men or young women:
    • a place to sleep on Friday night, January 31;
    • breakfast on Saturday morning, February 1;
    • a ride to Good Shepherd on Saturday morning, February 1.
    We also provide a potluck dinner for team members at Good Shepherd after the retreat. Please let Rosie know if you are interested in contributing.
