A Note from Stephanie:
Thanks to my wonderful team, we are now pleased to feature some guest bloggers. Show them your support by reading up on our latest blogs and adding Recruit NET Canada on Facebook. Alex did a great job last week, and this week we get to hear from another member of iNFUSE 3.
Enjoy! God Bless!

Hey Y’All!
This is not your usual blogger, it is Nic!
What am I so excited about? Well, let me tell you! Great things have been happening here at St. Anthony’s parish. We recently just finished a ThinkFast 25 hour fasting sleep-over for both youth groups (Reach and Revive). This was a great event using Development and Peace resources to raise awareness and money for those people in communities whom are negatively affected by the privatization of water. The youth were very involved and raised over $1000! The night was led by Monique and Stephanie and involved the rest of the team who led talks, activities, games, liturgies, and prayers. Then our young adults and some parents helped in the preparation of the long-awaited for breakfast. No youth were seriously injured in the making of this ThinkFast.
We also went to see the St. Anthony's girls Jr. High last basketball game! Unfortunately they didn't win but that's because our grade 7 & 8 team was playing against mostly grade 9 girls. They still played well and put forth brilliant effort! Go St. A's Sharks!
Also exciting news is that we are finally starting to get young adults and volunteers to come out and help run events. We still have some work to do training them, but the fact that they are good young Catholics willing to give their time, talents, and treasure to be involved with the mission of NET, the evangelization of youth!
And so there are only about 2 and 1/2 months left here (so sad) before we fly back to Ottawa for wrap-up! This year has gone by so fast but hopefully the effects of having a NET Team here will be long lasting!
God bless and hold fast as we await the grace that shall abound from the Saving Paschal Mystery!
