ACTS

ACTS is a Catholic lay retreat program designed to strengthen and deepen individuals' faith through prayer, community building, and service. It focuses on helping participants experience the love of Christ, deepen their relationship with God, and become active members of their faith community.

ACTS stands for Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service—key components of the ACTS retreat experience.

The ACTS retreat is open to adults, both men and women, and is offered at various times throughout the year. Whether you are new to the faith or a lifelong Catholic, the retreat is designed to benefit all participants.

Participants experience a variety of activities such as Adoration, group prayer, spiritual talks, community bonding, and opportunities for personal reflection. The retreat is designed to refresh and renew one's spiritual life.
