ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service. It is these four themes that are the focus of a weekend retreat. ACTS is inspired by the ACTS of the Apostles 2:42-47.

An ACTS retreat strives to achieve the directives of Vatican II and the goals of the Revised Code of Cannon Law of 1983, placing emphasis on 'Community and Pastoral Care' within a parish; that the participants experience God's love and joy throughout the weekend and return to the parish with a deeper love for each other and a desire to become more involved in the parish faith community.
