Eleven young adults from throughout the United States spent a couple of weeks in Camden Diocese as members of the National Evangelization Teams (NET).
NET Ministries challenges young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the church. Every August, 150 young Catholics aged 18-28 leave behind their jobs, school, family and friends to devote nine months to serving.

The team was able to share Christ’s story with over 650 teens. The NET team also made and served lunches to the needy at the Cathedral Pantry in Camden on March 4.
