teenagers today have more needs than

National
Evangelization Team of Canada (NET) -
Ottawa
NET
(National Evangelization Teams)
Ministries of Canada is a Catholic
non-profit youth ministry committed
to challenging young Catholics to
love Christ and embrace the life of
the Church. NET Canada recruits and
trains teams to evangelize to over
20,000 youth every year. Committed
to challenging young Catholics to
love Christ and embrace the life of
the Church, NET’s mission, to
challenge young Catholics to love
Christ and embrace the life of the
Church, is accomplished by:
- Proclaiming
the Gospel of Christ through a
personal witness of faith
- Inviting
young people to live for Christ
- Forming young
people in Christian character
through the study and practice of
our faith
- Equipping
youth workers and young adults
with the ministry skills needed
for evangelization.
Our churches are
not as full as we would like them to
be, vibrant young people who want to
share their faith are stepping out
and volunteering to share the gospel
message with us. These times of
complexity, God wants all of us to
make a difference in the lives of
others by repairing a broken
world...repairing a broken heart.
This can simply be done by acts of
charity. Sharing Jesus' love with
others. Our volunteers do just
that.

Education Resource
Center:
An Internet
library of journal .., essays, book
excerpts, and other texts chosen for
their objective, concise, and clear
presentation of Catholic teachings,
history, and culture. Including:
The
Secret to Looking Beautiful:
The
purpose of human life is not
"feeling good", but being good,
and as a leading philosopher
recently wrote, "the beautiful is
the way the good manifests itself
to the rational creature." A
person of good moral character
will be experienced by others as
a beautiful person, as a very
attractive person. We become
beautiful by choosing the good
(kalon).

Choosing
Chastity and Finding Freedom:
Chastity
means respecting your whole person:
your body, your soul, your mind,
your imagination, and your heart.
Far from simply abstaining from sex
until marriage, chastity is an
entire way of being. Living chastity
enables us to learn what real love
is all about: purity,
self-sacrifice, fidelity, respect,
and permanence. Free from heartache,
abuse, lies, disease, worry, and
teen pregnancy, the chaste person
lives in the truth of the new sexual
revolution. Chastity clears the mind
and frees the heart to focus on true
friendships and on discovering God's
will in our lives. We are a physical
body, that's true, but there is a
deeper reality that we are living
souls who long for peace and eternal
happiness.
Youth across our
continent who live chastity, or who
have returned to chastity, know that
purity is the path to true happiness
and the way in which we experience
the fullness of God's love and
mercy. They know that chastity is
the only 100% effective solution to
sexually transmitted diseases,
substance abuse, teen pregnancy and
abortion. Young people worry about
what truth and freedom will be left
for their children. They worry, and
they take action! It is our youth,
with their zeal and focussed energy,
who will be God's instruments in
leading the rest of the world away
from empty promises toward a safe
and brighter future.
