St. Simon the Apostle Parish is now accepting registrations for the August 3-6, 2023 ACTS retreat weekend for women.
This parish-based retreat offers the opportunity to renew your spirituality and prayer life; to strengthen your faith and its application to your daily life and to build lasting friendships among members of the parish community. Your fellow parishioners present the retreat with spiritual direction from Fr. Brad Modde. We invite all men to join us for a special weekend of spiritual growth and renewal!
An ACTS retreat is centered on how we as Catholics can improve our relationship with God and build a better, stronger faith community.
The retreat begins Thursday evening August 3 with check-in at 6:00-6:15 p.m. at St. Simon the Apostle Church. The retreat concludes Sunday, August 6, after the 11:00 a.m. Mass at St. Simon the Apostle, with a luncheon following in the lower church hall.
Accommodations for retreatants include a double room or private room at Mercy Retreat Center. Transportation to and from the retreat center is provided. Approximately 7-10 days before the retreat, you will receive a letter with all retreat details and instructions on what to bring with you for the retreat weekend (clothing, toiletries, etc).
The cost for each retreatant is $100 for a double room or $150 for private room. The retreat fee is discounted from past fundraising efforts.
