History

ACTS is the acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service. The retreat was inspired by the Acts of the Apostles 2:42-47.

At Epiphany

Epiphany offered its first men's ACTS retreat in the fall of 2013, followed by a women's retreat in the spring.  Annually, we offer one retreat for women and one for men.

An ACTS retreat is a three-day/three-night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners. The retreat begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday at a Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats are given separately for men and women. Talks and activities during the retreat focus on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service, from which the ACTS program acronym is derived. Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats. The retreat takes on the traditions and atmosphere of the parish community sponsoring it. It facilitates the attainment of a new or deeper relationship with the Lord. 

Through the ACTS retreat, ACTS Missions provides a spark that ignites Catholics worldwide with the eternal flame of the Holy Spirit.  As an instrument of God, ACTS is a light that will help bring about the New Evangelization by fostering love and true discipleship, leading others to a commitment and obedience to Our Lord Jesus Christ through our every word, action, and thought.
