The Retreat Starts When All Retreatants Depart by Bus from Sts

The retreat starts when all retreatants depart by bus from Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church’s parking lot on Thursday evening, March 15th at 5:30pm. It concludes with all retreatants returning to attend the 11:15am Mass at Sts. Peter and Paul Church on Sunday, March 18th. All retreatants and their families are invited to enjoy a potluck luncheon following this Mass.

The ACTS retreat is presented by lay-women from our community.
Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Christian faith are the guides for this weekend. Personal spiritual direction will be available.

During this retreat you will be given the opportunity to reflect upon and deepen your faith relationship with our Lord as you form new and deeper relationships with other women of our community.

The registration fee is $175.00; however, there are partial or full scholarships available for those who may require some assistance.

The Omega Retreat Center is a beautiful setting for the retreat. Excellent meals and snacks will be provided.

There is limited space for the retreat. We encourage early registration.

Scholarships available upon request through the Director

ACTSBackground

“They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common: they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals in exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.”

Acts of the Apostles 2:42-47
