St. Paul ACTS Community
"And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved." ACTS 2:47
ACTS is a three day weekend retreat inspired by the ACTS of the Apostles 2:42-47. The retreat focuses on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service as means to achieve the directives of Vatican II and the goals of the Revised Code of Canon Law of 1983 to place more emphasis on "Community and Pastoral Care" within a parish; that the participants experience God's love and joy throughout the weekend, and return to their parishes with a deeper love for each other and a desire to become more involved in the parish faith community.

Adoration - the call by, acceptance of, and response to God
Community - the love and caring of each other
Theology - the study of God through scripture and the Catholic Faith
Service - to God and his people
