Emmaus
Emmaus is the Church of Saint Mary program for anyone who desires closer relationship with God through the Catholic Church.
If you are not yet baptized in the Catholic Church, I invite you to encounter Jesus, learn about our faith, and when you are ready, become a fully initiated member. Emmaus includes the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, which is the content, discernment, and liturgical rites to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
If you were baptized Catholic, but have not yet been confirmed or have been away from the church, I invite you to begin again and experience the grace and strength of the Sacraments.
If you are Catholic, Emmaus is for you, too! I invite you to deepen your understanding, renew your devotion, and accompany those who are just beginning.
Emmaus is held on Thursday evenings, from 6:30 until 8:30, in the St. Joseph Parish Hall. Every session includes a family meal, prayer, and learning. Nursery is available for children under three and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is available for children under twelve.
Reach out with any questions or register below. I hope yo
u will join us!
