We invite you to join us for a spiritually uplifting weekend; a getaway from your usual busy schedule. This weekend will be an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with the Lord, renew yourself spiritually, and build and grow friendships with some great men. All men age 21 and older are welcome to attend. ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service. We aspire to grow in faith and friendship like the first Christians did: “Each day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes.” (Acts 2:46)
The retreat begins on Thursday evening, October 15, 2026 with check-in at 5:15 PM at St. Therese of Lisieux Parish (Holy Family Church) in Sanford ME. Transportation will be provided to the retreat center. We will return to St. Therese Parish on Sunday, October 18 for the 10:00 AM Mass. After Mass, a welcome home reception for you and your family and friends will be held at St. Thomas School cafeteria.
The total cost of the retreat is $275. This fee includes lodging, food, beverages, and many spiritual activities. A deposit of $50 made payable to St. Therese of Lisieux (please write “ACTS Retreat” in the memo section) must accompany this form to reserve your place. The remaining balance of $200 will be due at the Thursday evening check-in. Please Note: Financial difficulties should not prevent anyone from attending the retreat. Contact Ken Brown, our Spiritual Companion, at (207) 608-3839 or Alex Swetz, Retreat Director, at (207) 289-4252 to confidentially request financial assistance or to contribute to the scholarship fund.
