Education / Formation
ACTS is more than a simple retreat “program” - it's designed to implement the New Evangelization in a way that transforms parishes into intentional disciples. Through a weekend retreat and through small faith communities, parishioners are led to live their faith more intentionally on a personal and community level.
An organization open to all women of the parish. The group assists others in need, provides help and donated food for
parish events, and finances items for liturgical worship and religious education. It also supports the spiritual life of its members by encouraging devotion to Mary and the Blessed Sacrament. Meetings are held in meeting room B on the first Monday of each month. Contact the President: Suann Cunningham 419-334-3586
