Emmaus This Thursday, August 21, Confession and Mass

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

It's that time of the month again for our regular Emmaus Confession and Mass at Assumption Catholic Church. Our spiritual director, Fr Ed Murphy, will be there for both Confession, starting at 6:15pm, and Mass, starting at 6:45pm. Rosary will start as usual at 6:15pm. We will more then likely be going out afterwards for some food and fellowship for those interested. 

We look forward to seeing you there,

Emmaus Core Team.

Emmaus This Sunday, August 17, Bike the Rail Trail and Mass

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Sunday, August 17, we will be gathering together together for Mass and and to go for a bike ride on the Jacksonville Rail Trail (https://www.traillink.com/trail/jacksonville-baldwin-rail-trail.aspx). We will be gathering together for the 10am Mass at Assumption Catholic Church and afterwards going out nearby for a light lunch (restaurant to be discussed after Mass). Afterwards we will be making the 15 minute trip to the start of the trail. Plan on being there by around 12:30pm. The trail itself is a paved, wood trail going from Jacksonville to Baldwin and is nearly a 15 mile, one way trail.

For those who wish to meet up for Mass, I will be sitting in the front, left hand section of the church, meeting up just outside of the doors leading to the Adoration Chapel before we head to lunch and will be meeting at the beginning of the trail after lunch.

Please consider bringing some of the following:

Bike (please send a shout out if you have an extra bike or need a bike and we all will see how we can help).

Plenty of water.

Hat

Sun screen

Glasses

Bug repellant

Comfortable clothes (for those that need to change out of their Sunday finest, figure we can do so at Assumption before departing, doubting there will be an appropriate place to change once we get to the trail)

Closed toe shoes

We will be biking for as long and as far as everyone wishes. And if you don't have a bike, and if there is a group who wishes to do so (biking be primary focus), hiking will be acceptable. 

Provided below is directions from Assumption to the Rail Trail and also general directions from downtown Jacksonville to the Rail trail.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Mike Toloczko at (904) 755-8820 or email me at michael.toloczko@yahoo.com

Hope to see you there and God Bless,

Emmaus Core Team

Emmaus this Wed. (yes, Wed.) 8/6

Hello brothers and sisters,

Instead of meeting on Thursday this week we will be joining Families Following Christ on Wed. at 7pm at the Cody Center at St. Joseph's Catholic Church to hear Mike and Evie Day speak about Theology of the Body as it relates to marriage.  Mike is a great speaker and Theology of the Body is one of his areas of expertise, so this should be a great talk!  Here is the announcement from FFC's facebook page:

"Please join us on Wednesday, August 6th as we welcome Mike and Evie Day as our guest speakers for the final chapter in our 2014 Summer Marriage Series. Mike and Evie will be discussing the topic of “Living the Theology of the Body in Your Marriage.” After their talk we will open the floor and pass around a basket for questions. The meeting will be held at 7pm at the St. Joseph’s Cody Center and nursery and children’s ministry are available for ages 6 months to 11 years old. Please remember to RSVP for the children’s ministry at familiesfollowingchrist@gmail.com."
