ACTS stands for Adoration and the call by, acceptance of, and our response to God; Community—our love and caring of each other; Theology—the study of God through scripture and the Catholic Faith; Service—to God and His people.
The ACTS retreat weekend was brought to the Parish of Christ the King in 2012, and since then, more than 650 parishioners have attended. The retreat is presented by lay Catholics who are fellow parishioners of the Parish of Christ the King, with the support of the pastor. The goals for the weekend are to provide opportunities for the retreatants to strengthen their faith, experience spiritual renewal, deepen their prayer life, and build strong, lasting friendships within the parish community. The guides for the retreat are the Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
People have credited ACTS with saving their lives, saving their marriages, convincing them to be ordained as priests or deacons, or leading them to the religious life simply by opening their eyes and their hearts to God's word. It has reinvigorated the spiritual lives of individuals, of families, of entire parishes.

The Seven Sisters Apostolate was formed in 2020 to pray for the priests of our parish. The mission of the apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop, for his deeper conformity to Christ. We currently have 5 groups of women praying daily for Fr. Elkin Gonzalez, Fr. Jon Fincher, & Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg.
The Seven Sisters in each group pray one Holy Hour each week (any time during her designated day) in front of the blessed sacrament (in a chapel or online) for the intentions of their priest or bishop. Toni Wersal is our “Head Anchoress.” Carmen Bernard is the Anchoress for the group and she handles communications for all women participating in this apostolate at the Parish of Christ the King.
