GATHERED TOGETHER - The youth of Holy Family in Ontonagon, Our Lady of Peace in Ironwood, St. Sebastian in Bessemer and St. Mary in Hurley, Wis., gather for a group photo during their NET Retreat held April 25 in Ontonagon. The 46 students were encouraged to grow in their relationship with Christ no matter where they are on their faith journey, or even if they haven’t started a relationship yet. The points that God loves each of them right where they are and God’s love is more powerful than any sin they could ever commit was stressed. (Photo courtesy of Danielle Sutherland)
