Hello brothers and sisters!
Happy Advent to you all! This Thursday, for Emmaus, we will be blessed to once again have our Assumption resident, Sisters of the Home of the Mother join us in Jordan Hall for a Panel Discussion/Q&A Session – so be sure to Bring your Questions – on any area of faith or morals that we would like to discuss! I know you all have some good questions to prompt a great discussion!
Can’t wait to see you all this Thursday AND can’t wait to celebrate the Advent and the coming birth of our Lord at Christmas with you all this Sunday (4PM at the Wilcox residence)! This is a great event to evangelize and invite a friend to come out and enjoy a fun evening and introduce them to our wonderful Emmaus family! If you haven't had a chance to donate a few dollars to help defray a few costs of the party, we would gratefully accept your donation on Thursday. So come out and enjoy the fellowship, yummy potluck, Christmas carols, reading of the Christmas story, gift exchange, and new memories to be made with old and new friends alike – see you there! Note: if you are a musician and would like to bring your instrument to join us for a practice at 2:30, just let me know so we can be sure to have enough copies of the music.
With love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
The MISSION of Emmaus:
To support the Catholic Church in its mission to reach out to the young adult community by providing opportunities to learn about the Faith. Our ultimate goal is to guide young adults into a vibrant participation in the sacramental life.
The four "pillars" of our mission are derived from the story of the disciples on their way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). These are Evangelization, Education, Fellowship, and Sacramental Life.

This Thursday - Amanda and Justin Lang at Emmaus
Hello Brothers and Sisters!
Happy Solemnity of All Saints! This Thursday, we will be meeting in Jordan Hall at Assumption. Our good friends Amanda and Justin Lang will be leading a discussion on how to incorporate traditions associated with the Saints in the home/family throughout the liturgical year. By the way, if you missed their 7th Annual All Saints Day Party this past Saturday, it was a blast. The game of the evening sent us on a scavenger hunt, performing skits, looking up scriptural and historical references on various matters of the faith, and even building a Cathedral out of graham crackers, icing and various candies. It was both quite fun and very educational.
I think this is a wonderful topic to get us thinking about very practical ways we can apply our faith and create memorable family moments. Creating special family traditions that are both fun and help those we love grow closer to our Lord and our entire Christian family (in heaven and on earth!) is an important way to make Holidays (and Holy Days ;) and ever day in between faith-centered and special (Hey we're Catholic, we're always celebrating something ... and isn't that wonderful ... we become what we celebrate!)
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
In light of today's Solemnity, just wanted to pass along some beautiful words from a dear friend...
"You were made for greatness not comfort. You are called to be holy as He is holy...to be light, to be salt, to be a saint. Remember who you are today...a beloved child of God. We are His and He desires to be our all. Happy solemnity brothers and sisters" ~ Wisdom 3:1-9; Sirach 2; Luke 23:46
