ACTS is a parish-based retreat offering the opportunity to renew your spirituality and prayer life to strengthen your faith and its application in your daily life, and to build lasting friendships. It is presented by your fellow parishioners with spiritual direction from our parish priests. 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.

Who should attend? Everyone. Young, old, faithful Catholic, lapsed Catholic, sinner, saint. New to the parish, long-time parishioner. Not a parishioner. Not Catholic, Cradle Catholic, convert, front pew at mass, standing in back. Social, quiet. Everyone. All that is required is a heart open to the Holy Spirit. 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, across 26 states and 5 countries, and witness to becoming better fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and children.
