Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Society tells us that the purpose of life is to get a good job and make a lot of money. However, our greatness isn’t measured by what we do, but by who we are.

God has a plan for each of us. During these retreats, attendees explore how to hear him and have the strength to follow him. The retreat days includes games, skits, dynamic talks, small-group discussions where youth can share honestly about faith and life, and a time of guided prayer and worship.

Grade 6-8 Retreat: Saturday, Jan 17, 2026 from 10am-4:30pm

Grade 9-12 Retreat: Sunday, Jan 18, 2026 from 10am-4:30pm

The cost of each retreat is $25/participant and includes lunch. Both retreats are held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish.

About NET Canada

NET is a Catholic Youth Ministry Organization based out of Ottawa. We see that many young people lose their faith by the time they leave high school. NET sends teams of young adults to share their faith in schools and churches, so youth are transformed and re-engaged in their Catholic faith.

What is a NET retreat?

A NET retreat is an opportunity for your teen to encounter God in a real and personal way, perhaps for the first time. Do they attend Mass with you but are starting to ask big questions about God and life? Is it a struggle to get them to even walk into a Church? Regardless of where they’re at, this retreat day is designed to help them encounter Jesus personally and discover their own call to greatness. It gives them the space to share honestly, ask questions, and be inspired by other young people who have chosen to give their lives to Jesus.
