Teen ACTS Retreat
August 1 - August 4, 2024
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will
never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” John 6:35
ACTS is an acronym for Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service. The goals of an ACTS retreat are to
strengthen our faith and its application in our daily lives, to discover or renew ourselves spiritually, and to build
lasting friendships. Teens present the retreat with spiritual direction from the clergy and help from lay adults.
This is a Catholic retreat but all Christian teens entering the 10th grade through graduating 12th grade are
welcome to attend. If you do not meet the grade requirements, you still may be eligible by contacting the
director below.
The retreat begins Thursday evening, August 1, with check-in from 5:15 - 5:45 PM at St. William of York
Catholic Church in Tewksbury, MA. Transportation will be provided to La Salette Retreat and Conference
Center located in Attleboro, MA. We will return to St. William of York Catholic Church on Sunday, August 4, for
the 11:30 AM Mass. A welcome home reception will follow. The total cost of the retreat is $250 and includes
lodging, food, and many activities. A deposit of $50 made payable to “St. William ACTS” 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. If you have concerns,
please contact the director below. Approximately 7-10 days prior to the Retreat, you will receive a letter
describing the necessities you should bring with you. Please call any of the contacts listed below if you need
