What is ACTS? It is the acronym for Adoration Community Theology Service. ACTS is not a 'members only' club. It is not an exclusive organization for Catholics only. ACTS is not an attempt to convert anyone to Catholicism. ACTS is LOVE! Love of our Lord Jesus Christ!
ACTS is for anyone wanting to get closer to God through Jesus Christ. What better way of encountering yourself and strengthening your faith than spending a secluded weekend in prayer and adoration. Finding out that the Holy Spirit can touch your heart in a way you never thought of before. Seeing and hearing how the Holy Spirit has touched others. Learning that you too are 'called' and desire to evangelize, whether to your family, friends or perfect strangers. Do not be surprised that you receive a yearning to do more for your fellow man.
Although the format for ACTS is Catholic-based, it is Christian oriented. The one true purpose of ACTS is to love Jesus Christ and bring Christians closer to our Creator.
STACTS stands for Small Town ACTS. STACTS is composed of, but not limited to, the combined parishes of St. Mary Star of the Sea(Ballinger), St. Joseph(Rowena), St. Boniface(Olfen) and St. Thomas(Miles). STACTS serves neighboring parishes whose parishioners wish to attend an ACTS Retreat. Be it a Men's, Women's or Teens' ACTS Retreat.
For additional information about upcoming ACTS Retreats, please see any STACTS Core officer, or contact your local parish for assistance.
