Purpose of ACTS
ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service.
The purpose of an ACTS weekend is to provide an opportunity for retreatants to develop a deeper relationship with the Lord and fellow parishoners through Adoration and daily prayer; through Community in one’s parish as a member of the Body of Christ; through Theology or the teachings of our Catholic faith by encouraging more study and to instill a virtue of Service to our Lord, our parish and each other.
ACTS Core Team meetings are open to the ACTS community. They occur on the 4th Thursday of each month at 7pm in the Faith Formation Center, usually in Room 110.
