Emmaus this Saturday, March 28, Bike Ride at the Rail Trail

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Once again, it's time for the ever popular bike ride at the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail. We will be meeting at Jacksonville end of the rail trail, 1800 Imeson Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32220, at 1pm. We will go as long as the group wishes to go. It is just about 30 miles round trip, which can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. It will be a great opportunity to dust off your bikes and have a really enjoyable afternoon. Please remember to bring plenty of water, to check your bikes to make sure they are in proper working order prior to leaving, and be prepared for an enjoyable afternoon.

Look forward to seeing you there,

Emmaus this Thursday, March 19, Mass at St Joe's

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

If you were able to make it to the Eucharistic Congress this past weekend, what a very wonderful, enriching and Christ filled weekend had by all. This Thursday, March 19, we will be joining St Joseph's Catholic Church for Mass at 5:30pm at the Historic Church. It will be a great opportunity to continue the great weekend with the celebration of the Eucharist.  St Joseph's Historic Church is located at 4214 Loretto Rd, Jax, FL 32223. We will also be going out to dinner at a restaurant near by too.

Also, it's that time of year for the annual Women's Help Center Gala on April 16 starting at 5:30pm at the Hyatt Regengy Riverfront . This year they will be having both Bishop Estevez and Senator Rick Santorum speaking at the event. It has been a tradition for us to volunteer at the event. We will be helping checking people in, amongst a few other things as needed. If you are able to help us out, please let me know ASAP either at michael.toloczko@yahoo.com or (904) 755-8820.

Emmaus this Thurs., 3/5 -- Fr. Jose - "Would you like to see your names written in Heaven?"

Hello everyone,

This Thursday at Emmaus we will have Fr. Jose, the new priest at Assumption, speaking with us.  The title of his talk is "Would you like to see your names written in Heaven?" and it will be about witnessing to Jesus in our day and age (evangelization).  So come on out and help us give Fr. Jose a warm welcome to Emmaus and to Assumption!  We will be meeting in the Parish Family Center/Gym upstairs in Room 2A at 7pm with Rosary a half-hour before if you want to join us.  We look forward to seeing you then!
