Teen ACTS is a Catholic teen retreat which helps to achieve the goals set forth by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in their statement on youth ministry: Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry.
The bishops state three goals for Catholic Youth Ministry:- To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today;
- To draw young people to responsible participation in life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community;
- To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
“A Teen ACTS retreat is one part of a comprehensive youth ministry program designed to meet these goals set forth by our Catholic bishops for youth ministry.” – From the Teen ACTS Director’s Manual.
An ACTS weekend retreat gives you the opportunity to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ; to renew yourself spiritually; to give new meaning to your prayer life; and to become part of an active, supportive, Roman Catholic faith community. Catholics
host the retreat with spiritual direction from a priest, a deacon and/or the youth minister of the parish.
Teen ACTS retreat has been canceled for 2021. There will be a summer retreat scheduled July 8-11, 2021. Limited spaces. Contact the Youth Office for more information.
