Teen ACTS

Our teens are growing and so is their faith. Let's help our teens embrace the everlasting love God has for us all. May the fire of the Holy Spirit, fervor and zeal for God consume their life now and evermore.  

St. Patrick Teen ACTS invites you to join them for an extraordinary weekend in accordance with the practices and doctrines of the Catholic faith.  It will be an opportunity for spiritual renewal and the making of many friends. The goals of the retreat are to allow an opportunity for each teen to focus on their Catholic faith and its application during their daily lives, to build purpose in their prayer life, to increase their presence at the liturgy, and to cultivate friendship among members of the church community.  Applicants must be a Freshman up to an incoming Senior to attend this retreat. This retreat will NOT count as a confirmation retreat. Please allow your teen to come freely to this retreat and to be open to being on retreat. This will allow room for the Holy Spirit to work in them during the weekend. 
 
Round Trip transportation will be provided to and from the retreat center for all the retreatants. Approximately 21 days prior to the retreat, you will receive a phone call letting you know if your teen is on the list of attendees. St. Patrick Church Parishioners are put on the list to live the retreat first, all remaining spots will be given to the non-parishioners applications. All applications will be in the order of submission.  They will be getting a list of items to bring on retreat and instructions for the retreat process. Historically, there is a long waiting list of individuals who are ready to live the retreat. Because of space at the retreat center and ACTS Missions guidelines, the number of retreatants is limited. Therefore, your place in the retreat will be forfeited if you are not at St. Patrick's Parish Hall by 6:15 pm on the day of the retreat in order to give notice to those on the waiting list. 
 
Cost for each retreatant is $160. You must pay the full retreat balance before the day the retreat begins by using the St Patrick website. Financial difficulties should not prevent anyone from attending the retreat. If you are unable to pay part of the fee or need further information regarding the retreat, contact :
