Acts Retreats

ACTS (Adoration, Community, Theology, Service) retreats are powerful parish-based experiences of God’s love that renew faith and build Christian community. Separate retreats are held for men and women.

What are ACTS Retreats?

Inspired by Acts 2:42–47, ACTS Retreats offer a powerful opportunity to grow closer to God and build deeper connections within our parish community. This three-day, parish-based retreat begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday with Mass, centering around four key pillars:

  • Adoration – Deepen your personal relationship with Jesus through prayer and worship.

  • Community – Build friendships rooted in faith with fellow parishioners.

  • Theology – Reflect on Scripture and Catholic teaching in meaningful ways.

  • Service – Discover how you’re called to live out the Gospel in everyday life.

Held separately for men and women, ACTS Retreats are led by fellow parishioners and include talks, small group discussions, quiet reflection, and joyful fellowship.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers...” – Acts 2:42
