You are invited to this 3.5-day immersion led by Acts XXIX, whose mission is to unleash the power of the Gospel and equip ordained and lay leaders with the essential principles needed to mobilize the Church for mission: reacquire a biblical worldview, operate as a family on mission, and restore the initiative to God. This gathering offers pastors and their teams a unique opportunity for deep spiritual renewal, dynamic learning, and authentic encounter with Christ and one another.
Program Highlights
Inspirational presentations by Fr. John Riccardo and the Acts XXIX team
Intentional time for prayer and reflection in a welcoming and contemplative environment
Meaningful dialogue and discernment among peers committed to pastoral leadership and renewal
Who makes an effective team member?
Members are discerned and invited by the pastor, not chosen based on staff roles or parish council membership. They may or may not be employed by the parish. Including the pastor, a team consists of 5-8 individuals invited and united to discern and guide the parish’s mission.
The right team members:
Share a Biblical worldview
Faithful to Church teaching
Docile to the Holy Spirit
Prioritize mission over self
High emotional intelligence(humble, hungry, smart)
