wHY EMMAUS?

We all need to take time away from the hustle of today's world.  This is your opportunity to set some time apart for yourself, to reflect, to share, and to learn about Jesus.

wHAT IS EMMAUS?

It is a Christian retreat put on by the men of this Parish, where you will spend the weekend with newfound 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 that first Easter afternoon when the risen Christ appeared to two disciples who were walking together along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus.

Like the majority of the persons who are blinded by their preoccupation with their own immediate problems, these two disciples’ sadness and hopelessness seemed to prevent them from seeing God’s redemptive purpose in the things that had happened. And yet, the risen Christ “came near and went with them”, opening the disciples’ eyes to His presence and lighting 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 to reinforce the whole Christian community. This is one of the great strengths and joys of the Emmaus movement.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE WEEKEND?

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