- Patti DeFrancesco | Boston ACTS Chapter
< Back Patti DeFrancesco I lived my ACTS retreat in 2010 and found it changed so many things in my life for the better. It has strengthened my relationship with God and continues to provide so many blessings.

I have been an active member of St William's parish in Tewksbury for 34 years, with my husband of 35 years, Steve. We have 4 wonderful adult children, 2 awesome sons-in-law and 3 beautiful grandchildren. Favorite Scripture : Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Favorite Saint Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)
- Prayer for ACTS Community | Boston ACTS Chapter
Let us pray... In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit... Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day and for our families and all our blessings, especially our ACTS community and brothers and sisters in Christ. We come together today to work towards helping others grow closer to you and to grow in our own faith so we can then pass it on to others. Please grant us your peace, patience, wisdom and discernment in proceeding forward to help grow the ACTS community. Help us work together as a team to accomplish the same goal, winning souls for Christ. Guide our thoughts, mind and conversation towards this goal. If it be your holy will, please bless our loved ones with the blessings we may gain from doing this service. And Lastly please make a way or path for others to help us in this quest, send the Holy Spirit to guide more people to attend the ACTS retreats and spread the word of this life changing retreat. If there is any evil in the way please show us how to conquer that or send your angels to protect and guide all those working to make progress with ACTS in our communities. We ask all this in the name of Jesus. Amen

- Joyful 3rd Mystery | Boston ACTS Chapter
The Joyful Mysteries The Joyful Mysteries The Joyful Mysteries The 3rd Joyful Mystery - The Nativity While holding the next large bead, speak to the Blessed Mother, let her know your prayer intentions for this holy rosary. Then, while contemplating the goodness of our Mother, read the following: “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” - Luke 2:1-7 Fruit of the mystery: Poverty Now, while reflecting on your prayer intention, the Gospel reading, and the fruit of Poverty, Pray 1 Hail Mary on each of the next 10 beads. H ail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Pray... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Like

- ABOUT ACTS | Boston ACTS Chapter
WHAT IS AN ACTS RETRAT An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. This in turn fosters a desire for intentional discipleship. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at the parish. THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE The ACTS Retreat begins Thursday evening and ends with Sunday Mass in the parish. While utilizing prayer, service, and teaching, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their spiritual journey and invites them to experience God in a manner that is both personal and communal. In this way, the ACTS Retreat fulfills the mission of: “Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic communities through ACTS.” It’s Spiritual Reflection… The ACTS Retreat experience is rooted in the Pascal Mystery in that retreatants are invited to reflect on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. …And Spiritual Surrender Throughout the weekend, retreatants are invited to prayerfully consider how they can respond to His love by spiritually surrendering to Jesus in order to have new life with Him.

- Joyful Opening | Boston ACTS Chapter
The Joyful Mysteries The Joyful Mysteries The Joyful Mysteries Next, while still holding the Crucifix, pray the Apostles Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Like
