ST.
FRANCIS OF ASSISI ACTS
|
Mission
Statement
|
|
The
members of the ACTS community of St. Francis of Assisi
will strive to assist members of the parish family to
attain a deeper relationship with our Lord and with
fellow parishioners through:
|
|
Adoration:
The call, acceptance and response to God
Community: Love and caring
for each other as members of
the body of Christ
Theology: Study of our
faith through Scripture
Service: To God, each other
and our parish family
|
| To achieve this goal we
sponsor weekend lay retreats, which are patterned after
the description of the early church in the Acts of the
Apostles (Acts 2:42-47). An ACTS parish weekend strives
to place great emphasis on community and pastoral care
within our parish. Participants experience God's love
and joy through the weekend, return to their faith
community with a deeper love for each other and an
increased desire to become more involved in their parish
community. This mission is continued and enhanced by
scheduled gatherings of the ACTS community and by
service projects (Habitat for Humanity, Social Sunday,
Parish Festival, Under the Bridge, etc.). |
|
ACTS Core
|
|
Nominations for Core are taken from the St. Francis ACTS
community and are brought forth by Core members.
Each Core member is asked to nominate two people.
Persons serving on Core must be a member of St.
Francis of Assisi parish and have previously attended an
ACTS retreat at St. Francis. Home team captain positions
are also chosen in this manner. |

Home Team
|
|
Home team was created with two goals in mind:
|
To more readily involve new
members of the ACTS community in serving future
retreatants.
To assist the previous directors’ in planning and
executing the Send-off, Candlelight and Return events
for which they are responsible. |
|
Home team captains provide more continuity for each of
these events, and a “go-to” person who has experience in
what works best for these activities.
ALL ACTS MEMBERS ARE PART OF THE HOMETEAM IN THAT THEY
ARE INVITED AND ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN SEND-OFF,
CANDLELIGHT AND RETURN MASS FOR EACH RETREAT.
If you would like a specific job for one of these
events, contact the Home team captains below.

Drivers are always needed for transporting retreatants
to and from retreat sites.
