ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service. The goals of an ACTS retreat are to strengthen our faith, to renew ourselves spiritually and to build lasting friendships. Laymen present the ACTS retreat and clergy provide support and oversight. All adults age 18 or older are invited to attend.
Retreats begin on Thursday evenings with check-in between 5:45- 6:15 pm at St. Louis Church Parish Hall (just to the right of the Rt. 108 entrance). Transportation will be provided to Bon Secours Retreat Center as well as a light meal upon arrival. We return to St. Louis on Sunday in time for the 12:45 pm Mass. Family and friends are encourage to attend Mass as well as a reception that will follow Mass.
