NET Retreat Missionaries Host Families Needed
Hello families of St. Vincent De Paul, we are having NET ministries come put on a day retreat for our 7th and 8th graders on January 30th. We have found this to be an invaluable retreat for our students for the second half of the year. The NET team is usually made up of 12 volunteer missionaries, so we need about 6 families to host them for the night of January 30th. They must travel and stay overnight at least in pairs. Please email Miss Donahue at edonahue@svdpk8.com, our Student Advocate, if you would like to host. You do not need to have a child in 7/8 grade to volunteer; these young men and women are devoting one to two years of their lives deepening their own Christian lives and traveling to schools and churches to put on retreats for middle and high school aged children. They are a great blessing to our church.
