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 and in turn foster a desire for intentional discipleship. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, with support of parish clergy, and in this way, serve to build Christian community within the parish. ACTS is an acronym based on the activities and fruits of the retreat.
Adoration – Responding through prayer and worship to receiving God's gifts of grace, mercy, and love
Community - Participating in the One Body of Christ as Church
Theology - Deepening our relationship with God in order to better understand and fulfill His will for our lives
Service - Answering the call to discipleship by following the model Christ gave us.
The Retreat Experience:
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.”
It’s a Spiritual Reflection and Spiritual Surrender:
The ACTS Retreat experience is rooted in the Pascal Mystery in that retreatants are invited to reflect on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Throughout the weekend, they are invited to prayerfully consider how they can respond to His love by spiritually surrendering to Jesus in order to have new life with Him.
