ACTS Retreats
An ACTS retreat is a three day and three night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners, with the help of one of our clergy. The retreat begins on Thursday evening (5:00pm) and ends on Sunday at Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats for men and retreats for women are given separately. Talks and activities during the retreat focus on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service, from which the ACTS acronym is derived. Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats.
An ACTS weekend is designed to help the retreatants enter into a new or deeper relationship with our Lord and fellow parishioners. Retreatants are given guidance to help them in their faith journey.
The retreat is also a powerful community building experience. It emphasizes our call to service: to the parish community and to our world community. There results a new or renewed dedication to the life of the parish community and recognition of the needs of those around us and of our obligation, as followers of Christ, to help meet those needs.
