A.C.T.S. is an acronym which stands for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service. The ACTS Retreat was brought to Louisiana in 2007 when the Diocese of Beaumont missioned to Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church.  The first retreat was for men at Saint Charles Center. Since 2007, ACTS has grown and is in all parts of our state.  In addition to the men's and women's retreats, Teen ACTS is also offered in the Diocese of Lake Charles.  The programs continue to touch the faithful of our area and bring much fruit to the retreatants and their parishes. 

Saint Charles Center continues to offer ACTS Retreats sponsored by area parishes.  Please see planned retreats below.  For further information or registration, please contact the individual parishes and/or directors.
