ACTS Ministry

ACTS Mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic Communities by promulgating ACTS.

What does ACTS stand for?

• Adoration: Responding through prayer and worship to receiving God’s gifts of grace, mercy and love.
• Community: Living and participating in the One Body of Christ as Church, beginning with the parish.
• Theology: Deepening our relationship with God through prayerful study to better understand and fulfill His will for our lives.
• Service: Answering the call to discipleship by following the model that Christ gave us.

What is an ACTS Retreat?

• An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. This in turn fosters a desire for intentional discipleship.
• ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at the parish.
• ACTS Retreats have enriched the spiritual lives of men and women; retirees, rich and poor Catholics and non-Catholics.

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.

In this way, the ACTS Retreat fulfills the mission of:

“Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic communities through ACTS.”
