What is ACTS ?
An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at a parish.
The ACTS Retreat begins Thursday evening and ends with Sunday Mass in the parish. While utilizing prayer, service, and teaching, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their spiritual journey and invites them to experience God in a manner that is both personal and communal. Throughout the weekend, they are invited to prayerfully consider how they can respond to God’s love by spiritually surrendering to Jesus in order to have new life with Him. This invitation is extended through:
Adoration: A response to God's love through prayer and worship
Community: Participating in the One Body of Christ as Church
Theology: Deepening our relationship with God in order to better fulfill His will
Service: Answering the call to discipleship by following the model He gave us
Those who attend an ACTS retreat share in an experience that has impacted more than one million lives worldwide since the first retreat in 1987. There are numerous testimonies describing retreatants who were evangelized through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. They witness to becoming better fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and children. As a result, ACTS is supported by bishops and priests worldwide as a legitimate participant in the Church's New Evangelization.
The Core Team will be meeting the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM in the Education Center.
