Thurs-Do you know what a Sacrament is?

Do you know what a Sacrament is? What it does to your soul? Or why you need Sacraments? Well this Thursday we will discuss these questions and much more. This month Emmaus will be starting our series on the Sacraments. We will be discussing each Sacrament with a local priest throughout the quarter. Be sure to come out this Thursday. If you rarely come to Emmaus think about being part of the community and growing in your faith. To learn about your faith is to worship God and to fellowship with each other is to fellowship with the Holy Spirit in each of us.

In Christ,

Thurs- Bible Study on St. Paul

Hey guys,

Come out to St Ephrem's this Thursday. As the church prepares for the closing of the year of St Paul, we will have a discussion all about the great Apostle to the Gentiles. Peggy will guide the conversation. .....do you have a favorite letter written by St Paul, a favorite passage or verse? or is there one you just can't seem to understand?. ....come, listen, learn, share... and BRING A FRIEND!

We gather at 7 to pray the rosary and will start with praise and worship at 7:30. Let us know if you have any questions...

Holiness, can I really be Holy?- Fr. Jose 6/18

This Thursday Fr. Jose Kallukalam from St. Paul's at the Beach will discuss what Holiness is and the keys to living a holy life. He will answer questions such as:

How can I be Holy when I constantly fail and sin?

Is Holiness really real?

I thought only God was Holy so how can I be Holy?

Are there any spiritual tools or things that I can do to live a Holy life?

Come out and discover how to live a life of Holiness for God.

In Christ,

P.S. check out the new videos at the bottom of the last blog post. Make the Emmaus site your site for Catholic information. Save the site as a favorite.

New Catholic Videos - Priesthood

In honor of the Year of the Priest as called for by Pope Benedict 16th I will be posting a new men's vocation video once a month. I just posted 4 new videos on the blog. God in the Streets of New York, Fishers of Men, and the first vocations video of the month , the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. Check them out. They are really cool. You can also check out the mens vocation links on the side bar which will include a link to the Religious order whose video is posted. There are also women vocation links, of course unrelated to the priesthood.

Enjoy!!

Fr. Larry's Last Mass with Emmaus

This Thursday at Emmaus we will be having Holy Mass with Fr. Larry (a Maryknoll priest). Fr. Larry will be retiring in August and moving (toChicago I believe). He is really looking forward to doing Holy Mass for us and we will have a chance to say goodbye to him and wish him well in his retirement. ( I will bring a card for all of us to sign)

Fr. Larry will be at St. Ephrem's at 6:30pm to listen to confessions, so if you didn't get a chance to go last week with the Friars this would be a great opportunity. Or if you did go last week and would like to go again... this is a great opportunity as well! :)

Holy Mass will start promptly at 7pm. Please come out and say goodbye to Fr. Larry, he has been coming to Emmaus the last couple of years and has really enjoyed seeing the young adults and was always willing come celebrate Holy Mass for us when was not out of town doing missionary work forMaryknoll. We hope to see you this Thursday!

May the Holy Spirit bring joy and peace in your life and guide us to encounter an intimate relationship with Jesus.
