ACTS
What is ACTS?
ACTS is a parish-based retreat program that began in Texas in 1987.
The acronym of ACTS comes from Adoration, Community, Theology and Service, which is the foundation for these retreats.
This retreat offers the opportunity to renew your spirituality and prayer life, to enhance your relationship with our Lord and to strengthen connections to and within our parish community.
800+ St. Gabriel the Archangel parishioners have attended the retreats.
