Why do we do this? Each year, NET Ministries sends over 175 young adults across the country in teams of 8-14 to proclaim the Gospel to Catholic youth. The NET teams will share their love of Christ and the Church with over 90,000 youth from September to May this year. They come from a wide variety of states and countries. The team members have been trained in the teachings of the Catholic Church and formed as brothers and sisters in Christ, a quality young people consistently notice and to which they are attracted. The experienced team members take care of most everything, including retreat content, set up, and tear down. Your level of involvement is up to you; they partner with you to ensure a perfect match for your group’s needs.

Join us for this fall’s religious education series choice, “Who Am I to Judge – Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love” by Edward Sri. Classes begin the week of Sept. 19. Registration is required. For those doing home study, the program is on www.formed.org . Sites and times can be found below. The program begins on Oct. 12.

How do we talk about morality in a world that no longer believes in truth? What is “right” and “wrong”?
Is what’s right for you right for me? Is there a right and wrong for everyone, all the time? These are
difficult questions to discuss in our culture. We live in a society that supports the opinion that each person
should make up his or her own morality – that there is no moral truth that applies to everyone. Many good
people feel afraid to say anything is right or wrong anymore.

This program gives us an important key to responding to these difficult questions – a Catholic moral
world view. Learn how Catholic morality is all about love, how making a judgment is not judging a
person’s soul and how, in the words of Pope Francis, “relativism wounds people” and is “the spiritual
poverty of our times.”

This program gives Catholics:
• greater confidence in God’s moral law,
• greater clarity in how to explain it effectively to our friends,
• and greater compassion for those with whom we disagree.
Everyone is invited to join us.
In order to make this 9 week program more accessible, this class will be offered in multiple parishes.
Each week you can go to the class that best fits your schedule.
