The ACTS retreat is a catholic retreat led by lay ministers of a local parish. The acronym ACTS stands for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service . It has its roots in the Cursillo movement which began in Spain in the years between WWI and WWII and with the Methodist Walk to Emmaus Retreat. The ACTS Retreat sprang out of a need to strengthen participation in local Parish Communities.
