What is D-Week? A four-day life changing retreat experience for Catholic high school students that will inspire, equip, and challenge you to live the life you are created for. Be prepared for your faith to come alive through encounters with Jesus in Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and Reconciliation. A faith-filled, energized team of NET team members, along with other outstanding leaders, musicians, and speakers lead D-Week. This amazing team will lead dynamic sessions which include worship, relevant talks, free time, small group time, fun activities, and so much more. D-Week is purposely designed for a limited number of participants so that you can easily meet new people, get your questions answered, and deepen your faith.
What is D-Week like? Heartfelt praise and worship, dynamic presentations, having a blast with fun activities, meeting new people, and great food are all wrapped up into this week! In addition, D-Week is packed with relevant sessions for men and women, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass, Reconciliation, and small groups led by outstanding, young, and welltrained NET team members.
There’s nothing quite like D-Week! It’s an incredible four-day lifechanging retreat experience for Catholic high school students that really is like no other. D-Week is about one thing and one thing only: an amazing opportunity for you to experience an ENCOUNTER with the Living God – an ENCOUNTER which can forever change your life; an ENCOUNTER which can awaken your heart and soul to a God who loves you beyond measure! D-Week is an ENCOUNTER which can fill you with the “Breath of God” – the Holy Spirit – who can make you new and set you free to fully live and witness life as Jesus promised! -

“What’s the point?” That was the question I found myself asking during Mass one Sunday. I doubt it was the first time I had asked this question. I’m sure I challenged my parents with it most Sundays...
