Become a Missioner
Are you on fire after attending an ACTS Retreat? Can’t wait to share the experience with others? Share your joy as we are called to go forth and serve our community by becoming an ACTS Missioner.
ACTS Missions (ACTSM)
We are a lay-led Catholic apostolate whose mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic communities through ACTS Retreats. The intent and purpose of the Retreat is three-fold: offer the opportunity for a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, foster intentional discipleship, and build parish community. The headquarters for ACTS Missions is in San Antonio, TX. We also have ACTSM Chapters in 21 locations across the US and 1 in Mexico who support parishes and Cores in their region. Chapters are regional volunteers who focus on education and evangelization.
ACTS Missioners
We have many willing and dedicated volunteers who join mission retreat teams through our headquarters or Chapters. These teams take ACTS Retreats to new parishes in the US and countries around the world. With the help of our micro-funding campaign, ACTS Missioners, we provide training, support, and scholarships to enable mission teams to serve new parishes. Not all of us can leave our homes and go to distant places, but all of us can become spiritual missionaries and share the work.

St. Therese the Little Flower
The Patron Saint of the ACTS Missioners
St. Therese the Little Flower is the patron saint of the ACTS Missioners because of her simple and direct commitment to the tasks and people that she encountered in her everyday life. As ACTS Missioners, we commit ourselves to simple prayer, extending an invitation for others to share in Christ’s love, and a small financial contribution to further the mission of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
