  ACTS Ministry/Retreat
    ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service.  The purpose of an ACTS weekend is to instill in the retreatants a new and deeper relationship with the Lord and fellow parishioners.  The ACTS ministry encourages more study of our faith and God’s word.  It strives to instill a virtue of service to the Lord, the parish, and to each other, through involvement in current ministries offered through the church.  Please watch the bulletin for the upcoming men's, women's and teen's retreats.

  Catholics Come Home
   

Have you, or one of your family or friends who have left the Catholic church, wondered how one might explore returning once again? Many have left when they were in college, they became involved in an abusive marriage, or the marriage ended in divorce. You sense that there is no way to return to your Catholic faith after so many years.
