I attended my retreat at OLG in November of 2007, guided only by the Holy Spirit.  My path through this route has been highly enriching, as I came back with an undescriptible sense of peace and humility.
The Lord then made me a call to serve at the Spanish retreat at OLG last week, once again, I received undescriptible gifts, much different than those I got from my first retreat.  I loved serving all those women, and it was very joyful to see the transformation in them.  While some people claim their experience as a team member has been much deeper than that as a retreatant, mine has been a compliment of the other. My service experience gave me a sense of strength, tolerance and contempt.
When I came back from my first retreat I still did not feel part of ACTS.  I did not wear my bracelet.  When I came back from serving the Lord I got the other half and I can now wear it.  Now I am able to understand his call.  I could talk and talk for hours about all the different signs I got from this last experience but then I would be breaking the oath I made and so it would be unfair for all those wonderful women out in the world because I would be biasing their experiences.  All I can say is that if people have a chance to attend, they should, because it is a way to open the eyes of our hearts and souls, so we can see through the eyes of Jesus our Lord.  God Bless you all and I pray that many people feel the need to go as I did.  Monica Hernandez

The ACTS experience helped save my life.  Now ACTS continues to awaken the members of my parish to the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to them in Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.  Come Holy Spirit!

ACTS CHANGED MY WHOLE OUTLOOK ON RELIGION, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IT ALSO BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE CHURCH NOT ONLY AS A MEMBER BUT ACTIVE IN OUR MINISTRIES. IT IS A NEW WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE LIKE ME AND YOU BACK TO OUR RELIGION.

ACTS has helped me meet and get closer to other people in my parish. I have become close friends with some of my ACTS sisters. I know that I can count on any of them if I need help.

ACTS has truly changed the way I look at life. When I went on retreat as a retreatant I was close to rock bottom in my life, it helped me dig myself out of that rock bottom. Once I went back as a team member, I realized what it meant to serve, and how serving other is so spiritually and emotionally rewarding. 

I enjoyed the retreat a lot, and I would love to go back as a team member someday.
