About Us

The Emmaus Catholic Young Adult Group was started in 1996 by Fr. Ducci in Orange Park, FL. The group first met in the Wilcox house, moved to St. Catherine’s, and then due to the group’s growth and mission ultimately to Assumption Catholic Church. We chose the name “Emmaus” because of the passage in the book of Luke 24:13-35. We love this passage because it deals with the Lord opening the eyes of those who are blind to the truth. The two men’s minds are opened to the Truth when Jesus teaches them about Himself starting from the Old Testament to His death on the Cross to His Resurrection. Afterwards the two men recognize who Jesus is when He gives them the Eucharist i.e. His very Body and Blood in Communion. Our group’s mission is to open the hearts and minds of young adults to Jesus in order to live a holy life. We seek to proclaim the Gospel, which includes all of the Church’s Teachings. We do this by having guest speaker’s talk about the faith, Bible studies, Mass and Adoration, worship music, retreats, sports, and more. We believe in building a strong community of Catholic young adults whose goal is to change lives and live lives of holiness for Christ.

"Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24:32.

December Vocation Video- NY Priest

I have posted December's vocation video. It is a video of the Ordinations in NY. Fr. Louis is a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal who is being ordained in the video. He came to talk to Emmaus in May. He was a new priest when he came to visit us. He is the one who looks like Padre Pio.

The video is towards the bottom of the blog.

In Christ,

I have post the new vocations video on the Emmaus website. Check it out! This month's video is of the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming. They are authentic Carmelites; the real deal. Be sure to watch the movie and check out there website. Some of you might have tasted my coffee before which comes from the monks. The coffee is called Mystic Monk Coffee. You can buy it at the Catholic Shop in Manadrin called Queen of Angels Catholic Shop or order it online. The coffee is really good and you can support the order. Go close to the bottom of the website to see the video.

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!!
In Christ,
Sean and the Emmaus Core Team
