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.
