Alex Salazar brought it to the parish.\u00a0 San Martin de Porres currently holds A.C.T.S. retreats for men, women, and teens throughout the year.\u00a0 The A.C.T.S. community within our parish has continued to grow by the hundreds and by witness to the many personal changes and testimonials given, it has continued to touch the lives of many.\u00a0 Many have shared that the retreat is credited in having saved their lives, marriages, families, jobs and their faith.\u00a0 Families and religious leaders from all around have seen amazing transformations in those who have lived their A.C.T.S. and it has served to continue to bring many more people closer to knowing and loving their faith.<\/p>\n<p>Please note this form is for those who have ALREADY lived their A.C.T.S. Retreat. This is not an application form. Applications for any upcoming retreats may be found below this form in the download section.<\/p>\n<script>\nvar
