ACTS Retreats 

An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. This in turn fosters a desire for intentional discipleship. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at the parish.

The ACTS Retreat begins Thursday evening and ends with Sunday Mass in the parish.

While utilizing prayer, service, and teaching, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their spiritual journey and invites them to experience God in a manner that is both personal and communal. In this way, the ACTS Retreat fulfills the mission of:

“Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic communities through ACTS.”

Saint Sylvester holds a Women’s and Men’s annually. Generally, the Women’s retreat is held in October and the Men’s is held in April.
