Dear Fr. ________
Greetings! My name is _____________ and I have been an active member of your parish (if not a parish member, list affiliation, youth program) for _____ years. First, I want to thank you and the parish community for proving me with such a great faith formation through (youth group, Life Teen, religious education, NET team visits, etc.). This parish community has been a huge blessing for my faith journey! This is one of the reasons I am writing you now.
As I am (current status: finishing my last year of high school/college, working full-time senior year of high school), I have been prayerfully discerning what God might be calling me to do next. After much prayer, discernment, and speaking with friends and family members, I have decided to apply for a year of service with NET Ministries for the upcoming school year. I have officially been accepted and I will be serving missionary for NET Ministries strive to reach over 100,000 youth with the Gospel!
In August I will travel to Minnesota to participate in a five-week faith-training program where I will learn how to grow in my own personal faith and effectively share it with others. Then from September to May, I will be in full-time active ministry with my assigned NET team where I will engage youth on a daily basis by helping lead retreats, giving talks, and leading small groups at Catholic parishes and schools. I am excited to get out and start sharing the mission with NET!
The first leg of my missionary journey has already begun as I have been building my support team of faithful and passionate ministry partners who have a passion for evangelization in the Catholic Church! In order to cover the costs of training, healthcare, and a small monthly stipend, NET Ministries has asked me to raise between $6,000-$7,000 in ministry partnership to cover a portion of the costs for my missionary year of service. (The actual cost for my year of service is more than three times this amount, but NET Ministries raises additional funds to support its missionaries.)
While I plan to raise much of my ministry partnership by meeting and speaking with prospective ministry partners individually, I would also like to meet with you in the near future to share with you my calling to this particular ministry and see if there is a possibility of speaking in front of the parish at an upcoming Mass. Past NET missionaries continue to express the significance of getting a local parish excited about the work of evangelization and giving them a glimpse of the work that NET continues to do with our Catholic youth across the country!
I will be contacting you by (date) to see if you have some time to meet with me in person about the mission of NET Ministries! I can also be reached directly at (number) or (e-mail).
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Peace and God Bless,
Matthew W. Vettel
