What Is Emmaus?
Emmaus is a relaxed, passive retreat weekend designed for men who feel they would like to explore a deeper relationship with God. The organizers will not try to convince you of their answers; instead they will share their own experiences and let you draw your own conclusions.
We are not men who were born holy, and we have each led very different lives. But through the power of the Holy Spirit we have found our way back to the Lord and would like to tell you about this life-changing experience.
What to Expect
- Hear a series of talks from other men about their own experiences with the Lord.
- Reflect, pray, and consider the bigger questions of life away from everyday distractions.
- Low-key, laid-back, user-friendly, and not “preachy.”
- You do not have to be Catholic, Christian, or a member of any parish.
