"What a gift it was to have the SENT Ministry Team facilitate our 8th grade Confirmation Retreats last year!  First, having young adults minister to our teens was invaluable.  Our students were deeply impacted by having college-aged students relate their stories of faith, conversion and true commitment to the Lord.  Second, the structure of the day was brilliantly arranged – a perfect balance of fun, prayer, talks, skits and small group sharing.  Third, the leadership of the team was exceptional – the knowledge and skill our team leaders demonstrated was at a professional level.  It is obvious SENT has an effective plan of training for its ministers.  Fourth, and most importantly, SENT Ministries exemplifies the “dynamic orthodoxy” for which Franciscan University is noted.  The enthusiasm, joy, spirit and fidelity of the team was contagious.  For these reasons and more, I am happily having SENT Ministries return this year to lead our Confirmation students in retreat once again."
