"Before the NET team came I didn't attend Mass, I didn't understand religion, and had problems accepting it. But after having attended one of their 'lifenights', I rediscovered my faith, and am willing to accept religion. I really admire the word they are doing here in Sligo and cannot thank them enough for the work they do"

"I never really went to mass because i thought it was uncool, but that has all changed because of the retreat team. They told us that going to mass is cool and that also God has a plan for us all. The retreat team shared some stories about their relationship with God. Im glad to say I've had a great time in learning about God. Thank you for making my faith stronger."

"I loved the prayer time. My perspective of God and my faith has changed today. They made us feel comfortable with each other. It was easy to relate to my small group leader. I like that we had personal time to talk to God. We all needed to quiet ourselves and just reflect. The retreat taught me to be kinder to people and respect them more. I also have a better appreciation for my family."

"Before the NET team got here I didn't know the Rosary and hadn't been to Mass or confession in years but after having attended one of their nights it has encouraged me to do all these things and has helped renew my faith."

"I really enjoyed my day at the retreat. I liked the way the NET team has showed us how we can give up some time to talk to God. I enjoyed the people on the NET team - who are really friendly and understanding. After the retreat I'll pray as much as I can."

"I enjoyed the day and found it a great experience for the others and I. You have opened my eyes to things I have never seen or understood. I got to understand what some Holy things meant as it was never explained to me."

" I enjoyed the retreat. It was upbeat and very fun. The team looked like they were having fun, but they also knew when to be serious. They really turned everyones attention to God and they got everyone involved. Prayer time was a great way to speak and connect to God. I learned to make time for God and now I know he's always with me."

"Before coming to this retreat God and church seemed like something I had to know about and was a chore. After this, it really opened my eyes to realize God's unconditional love for us and that He will always be there. I am going to pray much more, I actually want to go to church every Sunday now! I am going to put God first in my life from now on."
