St. Pius X Men’s Mini Retreat
November 1st - 2nd of 2024 in the Community Center
Sponsored by A.C.T.S. and Iron Sharpeners
As men and fathers, we are called to a love that reflects God’s own heart—a love that strengthens marriages, builds families, and flows from God’s endless love for us. Join us for a two-day retreat where we’ll explore what it means to live out this calling, inspired by the wisdom of Bishop Barron and more.
-
Learn to embrace sacrificial love in your marriage.
-
Discover your role as a loving leader in your family.
-
Deepen your experience of God's unconditional love and let it transform your life.
Come, connect with other men of faith, reflect on your role as a husband and father, and leave renewed, empowered, and ready to live out God’s plan for love.

What is an ACTS Retreat?
An ACTS lay retreat is held for three days and three nights and is presented by fellow parishioners. The retreat begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday at a Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats for men and retreats for women are given separately. The focus for the weekend is Adoration, Community, Theology and Service from which the ACTS acronym is derived. The retreat takes on the traditions and atmosphere of the parish community sponsoring it. The retreat facilitates the attainment of a new and/or deeper relationship with the Lord through:
Adoration - The call by, acceptance of, and response to God
Community - The love and caring of each other
Theology - The study of God through scripture and the Catholic Faith
Service - To God and His people
Each retreat is conducted by a retreat "team" composed of 20-25 individuals who have attended prior ACTS retreats. Chosen by the retreat Director, the team organizes the retreat, conducts the retreat activities and ministers to the needs of the retreatants during the retreat weekend.
What is the purpose of an ACTS retreat?
To allow each retreatant to experience God's love and joy and deepen their faith in Him. To allow all to return to their lives with a deeper love for God, each other and a desire to become more involved in their faith community and serve others.
