Have you ever stopped to think about how you actually do that? Or what it is that makes someone a disciple in the first place? When you look at your ministry, how do you know if you actually ARE making disciples? We want to help you wrestle with these questions in a way that we believe can transform your ministry!
Casting our Nets is a bi-weekly series based on the book Forming Intentional Disciples by Sherry Weddell. All Youth Ministers, Confirmation Coordinators, PCLs, Pastors/Priests, Parish Life Directors, Pastoral Associates and any parish ministry leaders are invited to join this free monthly experience. There is no cost to join.
***Spanish live interpretation is available***

April 15 - August 12, 2026

Bi-weekly sessions will be interactive and will build on each other as we go through the process. A retreat experience will be provided along the process. You will be asked to read certain chapters of the book in preparation for each session. You can order a copy of the book on Amazon (this will be the only cost for this process). In between sessions you will be given a challenge. Our hope is that these will help deepen not only your relationship with Jesus, but also transform your ministry.
