AN ACTS RETREAT IS . . .
a three day/three night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners. The weekend begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday at a Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats for men, women, and teens are given separately.
Talks and activities during the retreat focus on four pillars, which form the acronym ACTS.
Adoration--listening to God and responding to him.
Community--loving and caring for each other.
Theology--study of God through Scripture and the Catholic Faith.
Service--of God and his people.
Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats. The weekend allows participants to experience God's love and joy. They return to their parishes wth a deeper love for each other and a desire to become more involved in their faith communities.
If you are not a Catholic, you are welcome to attend. We will take care and explain the Catholic things we do.
