Mercy Retreat Center

The ACTS (Adoration, Community, Theology, Service) retreat movement originated in San Antonio, Texas, in 1997 and made its way to St. Louis in the early 2000s. Today, it flourishes in over 25 parishes, with new ones joining the movement daily. The ACTS weekend is designed to inspire, encourage, challenge, and much more. It is organized by lay men and women, for lay men and women, with support from our parish priest. Take a leap of faith, place yourself in the care of others, and enjoy some quality time away from your busy life in the presence of Jesus. Embrace the journey—you won’t regret it!
