"They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life; to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need. Each day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals in exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved." - Acts of the Apostles 2:42-47
What is it?
An ACTS retreat is a three-day, three-night Catholic lay retreat presented by men who have attended prior ACTS retreats, under the guidance of Spiritual Directors. Retreat activities focus on Adoration, Community, Theology and Service. Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church are the guides.
The goals are to renew yourself spiritually, to strengthen your faith and its application in your daily life, and to create lasting and supporting friendships. Participants return to their parish faith communities with a deeper love for each other and a desire to become more involved.
ADORATION – GOD’S CALL, YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF, AND RESPONSE TO GOD. COMMUNITY – LOVE AND CARING FOR EACH OTHER.
THEOLOGY – STUDYING GOD THROUGH SCRIPTURE AND OUR CATHOLIC FAITH. SERVICE – TO GOD AND HIS PEOPLE.Past Reactions
“If you ever thought about how God works in today's world or how to give thanks to God for all that you have received. If you ever thought what it was like to live in the times of Jesus and the Apostles and be around brothers who think and feel like you then this is for you. Please make the time to experience this retreat. God bless and keep you always.” –Frank O’Leary
“Getting beat down by a world that produces a lot of negativity, it’s difficult to find true happiness and the things we should be grateful for in our lives. This retreat helped me to focus on my relationship with God. During the weekend I found myself standing at the foot of the Cross where I left all my struggles. It helped me to return to basics: basic attitude, basic belief, and basic balance of life. The passion and happiness came back into my life! This retreat was truly a gift from God to help me slow down, relax and rest a while in His loving arms!” –Ron Pantoliano
“I’m blessed to have such a strong community of Catholic men to have shared this powerful retreat experience with.” –Joe Premus
