NET Ministries has been serving the Archdiocese of Los Angeles since 1987, putting on 460 retreats and ministering to over 38,000 teens in that time. This year we will have a NET Team full-time in California from October-May. We are looking forward to this opportunity to increase our availability to parishes and schools across California, and support the work of evangelization here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles!

Cord Dorcey

Convicted by this reality he served for 7 years with the National Evangelization Teams (NET Ministries) where he discovered his passion for sharing the Gospel of Jesus. Cord serves a Mission House committed to becoming men on fire and starting a revolution of brotherhood and authentic masculinity.
Culture Project
NOVEMBER 9
Through storytelling, real-life examples, natural law, and scientific evidence, CP poses the question: What is it about human beings that sets them apart? They discuss the splendor of the human person and define human dignity as the unique value inherent to each of us. They celebrate the magnificence of human life with stunning images, state-of-the-art footage, and fascinating facts. They address modern-day violations of human dignity and ask the question: How do we reverse this? They empower students to understand that personal virtue has the power to humanize. And they close with an inspiring story, inviting each student to join them in restoring our culture.
