ACTS Retreats

​

An ACTS retreat is a three-day, three-night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners. The women’s retreat takes place in the spring and the men’s retreat takes place in the fall of each year. The retreat begins on a Thursday evening as retreatants gather at the sponsoring parish for a short send-off ceremony. They are then transported to a retreat facility for the rest of the weekend. The retreat ends Sunday as the retreatants return to the sponsoring parish for a welcome Mass celebrated with the parish community followed by a simple reception.

​

Talks and activities during the retreat focus on Adoration, Community, Theology and Service, from which the ACTS program acronym is derived. Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats. The retreat takes on the traditions and atmosphere of the parish community sponsoring it.

 

The retreat facilitates the attainment of a new or deeper relationship with the Lord through:

​

Adoration – the call by, acceptance of, and response to God

Community – the love and caring of each other

Theology – the study of God through scripture and the Catholic Faith

Service – to God and his people
