INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS
OPEN FOR 2025-2026

In the Gospel of John (21:11), Jesus instructs his disciples to cast their nets after a night of fruitless fishing. The net then miraculously catches 153 large fish, a number that SIGNIFIES A CATCH OF EVERY KIND OF FISH IN THE SEA OF GALILEE.

NETONEFIFTYTHREE IS A 10-MONTH INTERNSHIP FOR THOSE LOOKING TO TRAIN ON HOW TO THRIVE WORKING WITHIN FAITH FORMATION IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

OVERVIEW

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church is dedicated to equipping and mobilizing leaders for the New Evangelization. We hope to accomplish this goal through a faith formation internship program aimed at preparing young adults for direct parish ministry experience. NET ONE FIFTY-THREE hopes to impart practical skills and experience and provide ample opportunity for interns to discern God’s will to ministry from within a holistic vision of parish life. Internships are approximately 40 weeks long, averaging 15-20 hours per week, for which all interns will be compensated based on the current minimum wage rate. 

Since the “success” of our ministerial work, thankfully, depends more on Him than on our meager efforts, NET ONE FIFTY-THREE is committed to accompanying each intern as they grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ through regular participation in the sacraments, daily prayer, and one-on-one discipleship opportunities. 

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

We seek intern applicants who are fully initiated practicing Catholics endowed with a spirit of prayer and a genuine love of Christ and His Church.  The ideal candidate will possess strong organizational and leadership skills, a genuine hunger for souls, an ability to collaborate humbly within a team setting, and a degree of social intelligence that will allow fruitful interactions with others.

Secondarily, we are seeking proactive individuals with strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills, as well as a commitment and ability to produce high-quality, timely, and accurate work. Proficiency in Spanish and MICROSOFT OFFICE / GSUITE EQUIVALENT IS DESIRABLE.
