Special Request! Housing for Retreat Missionaries
October 6 & 7, 2019
We need help to house 12 young adult missionaries in homes for two nights on October 6th and 7th. They are coming to present a retreat for our 8th grade Confirmation candidates on Sunday, October 6, 2019 at the Shrine of Saint Frances Cabrini. In the past, families who have hosted missionaries have shared how AWESOME the experience was, and what a great impact it had on them.
Would you be willing to be a host?
The individuals who will present the retreat are from the NET Ministry team. This is a group of young adults who travel the country for one year as missionaries working specifically with young people. As part of our agreement to have them present our retreat, we need to find host families to house them for two nights.
The missionaries are not allowed to stay alone, so they come together in groups of 2 or more. The expectation would be to provide a space to sleep (it can be a bed, a couch, or a floor) and shower for two nights, Sunday, October 6 and Monday, October 7, 2019. In addition to housing the missionaries, the commitment is to provide them with dinner on Sunday night, breakfast on Monday, and breakfast with a sack lunch on Tuesday when they leave.
Email David Heimann to help welcome these young people to Saint Andrew!
