An ACTS retreat is a three-day, three-night Catholic lay retreat presented by men or women who have attended prior ACTS retreats, under the guidance of a Catholic Guide. Offering a unique format, this retreat is unlike anything you may have experienced in the past. The goals are to renew yourself spiritually, to strengthen your faith and its application in your daily life, and to create lasting and supporting friendships within your church communities. The Retreat begins Thursday evening, with a 4:30 pm check-in at the sponsoring parish. Participants will then be transported to St. Edmunds Retreat, Enders Island, Mystic, CT for the remainder of the retreat. The retreat will end on Sunday, with a morning Mass and reception at the sponsoring parish. Transportation to and from Enders Island will be provided.
