WHY EMMAUS?

We all need to get away from the bustle of today’s world. This is your opportunity to set aside time for yourself to reflect, share, and learn about Jesus.

WHAT IS EMMAUS?

It is a Christian retreat organized by the men of this parish, where they will spend the weekend with new friends in the presence of the Lord. Emmaus gets its name from the story in Luke 24:13-35, in which Luke tells the story of the first Easter evening when the risen Christ appeared to two disciples who were walking together on the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus.

Like most people who are blinded by concern for their own immediate problems, the sadness and hopelessness of these two disciples seemed to prevent them from seeing God’s redemptive purpose in the things that had happened. And yet the risen Christ “approached and went with them,” opening the disciples’ eyes to his presence and kindling the fire of God’s love in their hearts.

The Emmaus movement is ecumenical. We invite and involve Christians of all denominations. Emmaus also seeks to foster Christian unity and strengthen the entire Christian community. This is one of the great strengths and joys of the Emmaus movement.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE WEEKEND AT THE RETREAT?

During the weekend you will listen to talks given by different men from the Parish… there will be no lectures or homework. The Emmaus Walk offers participants the opportunity to rediscover the presence of Christ in their lives, gain a new understanding of God’s grace, and form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity.

WHEN IS THE RETREAT?

The retreat will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and will conclude at approximately 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The closing Mass will be at St. Agatha Catholic Church to be announced. More information will be provided at the retreat when the closing mass will take place. Please be sure to invite your family to the closing mass.
