NET Team Coming to Star of the Sea 2026-2027

Star of the Sea Parish is preparing to welcome something very special this fall, a NET Discipleship Team! Beginning in October 2026, a team of young adult missionaries will join our parish community to serve and accompany our youth through ministry, mentorship, and faith-filled witness.

NET Ministries is dedicated to helping young people encounter Christ and grow in discipleship. Through retreats, youth nights, parish involvement, and authentic relationships, these missionaries bring energy, joy, and a deep love for the faith to the communities they serve.

As we prepare to welcome the team, we are also inviting parishioners to prayerfully consider becoming host families.

Hosting a NET missionary is a meaningful and practical way to support the mission of the Church. Host families provide simple accommodations such as a bed, couch, or floor space, access to a bathroom, and meals during the missionaries’ time serving in the parish. The missionaries are described as low-maintenance, provide their own transportation, and are usually housed in same-gender pairs. All team members have completed extensive training and record checks.

Opening your home is more than providing a place to stay; it is an opportunity to build relationships with inspiring young adults who are dedicating a year of their lives to serving God and others. Many host families find the experience deeply rewarding, bringing renewed energy, faith, and connection into their homes.

To learn more, parishioners are invited to attend an Information Night:

Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00 PM
at Good Shepherd Church

This evening will be an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the ministry, and explore what hosting could look like for your family. Friends and fellow parishioners are warmly invited to attend as well.

Please continue to keep this new ministry in your prayers as Star of the Sea Parish prepares to welcome these faith-filled disciples into our community.
