ACTS

What is ACTS? Que es ACTS?

Un retiro de ACTS ofrece a los participantes la oportunidad de experimentar el amor de Jesucristo. Esto fomenta el deseo del discipulado y la construcción de una comunidad parroquial. El retiro toma a cabo un fin de semana por tres días, y tres noches. es guiado por laico católicos con el apoyo del clero y un guía spiritual. El Retiro empieza un jueves por la tarde y termina el domingo durante la misa dominical en la parroquia. Tras el uso de la oración, servicio y la enseñanza el Retiro de ACTS se une con los retirantes en su camino espiritual y los invita a experimentar a Dios de una manera personal y comunitaria.

An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based evangelization tool which offers participants an opportunity to encounter the love of Jesus Christ. It fosters the desire for Christ-centered discipleship and parish community building. The ACTS weekend is a three day, three night retreat led by Catholic laymen along with the support of clergy and a spiritual director. The Retreat starts on a Thursday evening and ends with a Sunday Mass in one of the parishes. While utilizing prayer and service, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their own spiritual journey and invites them to experience God on not only a personal, but also on a communal level.

I am delighted to have new SISTERS in Christ - I have met so many beautiful women who are like a second family that continue to support and pray for myself and my family. I love the slow change that is occurring in my heart and am still amazed at all the blessings that I have received the weekend of my ACTS retreat.
