Catholic laymen from St. Catherine Laboure Parish present the ACTS Retreat for men. This parish-based retreat’s goals are to allow an opportunity for men to focus on their faith and its application in their daily lives, to grow in their prayer life, to increase their presence at the celebration of the Eucharist and to cultivate lasting friendships among members of the church community. The retreat begins Thursday, September 18, with check-in at 6:30 p.m. at St. Catherine Laboure Church gathering space and ends Sunday, September 21 with a reception for retreatants and their family members and/or close friends after the 12 p.m. closing Mass at St. Catherine’s. Round-trip transportation to and from the LaSalle Retreat Center in Wildwood, Missouri will be provided for all retreatants.
Cost for each retreatant is $195, with a deposit of $50.00 due with your registration form to secure your place. The remaining $145.00 is due at the Thursday check-in. Please detach and return the lower portion of this form with the registration fee. Checks should be made payable to Saint Catherine Laboure with “ACTS” written in the memo section.
