Hello brothers and sisters!
This Thursday at Emmaus, our spiritual director – Fr. Ed Murphy, will be celebrating Mass with us at 6:45 in the church at Assumption. Confession will be available prior to Mass from 6:15-6:45. We look forward to coming together as the Body of Christ in Holy Communion with Our Lord and each other to receive the grace we need to become what we receive! We look forward to continuing our Communal Unity after Mass with Fellowship and some dinner together.
With love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team

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.

Confession (6:15) and Mass (6:45) followed by Fellowship at Emmaus this Thursday!
Hello Brothers and Sisters!
This Thursday Emmaus will start EARLY with Confession available at 6:15 PM and Mass celebrated by our Spiritual Director, Fr. Ed Murphy, at 6:45 PM. Following Mass, we will leave Assumption at 7:30PM to get some grub and spend some time in fellowship together!
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean."
If we could only see the tenderness with which He offers US healing ... they couldn't keep us from running to Him!
See you all Thursday! with love,
The Emmaus Core Team

Thursday December 8th: 7pm Mass at Immaculate Conception
This Thursday, December 8th is the feast of The Immaculate Conception. Because of that, it is fitting that we attend mass at Immaculate Conception downtown. Not only is it the Immaculate Conception Feast Day, it will also be the Mass & Installation of Fr. Ed Murphy as Pastor. Bishop Felipe J. Estevez will be the celebrant! Father Ed is our Emmaus Chaplain and we are excited to attend this very special mass. Come celebrate this beautiful feast day and support Father Ed this week. We will be sitting and gathering in the left front pews of the church around 6:30pm so that we can try to sit together. Mass begins at 7pm. We will all go eat and fellowship after mass for a good time as usual! See you then!

Fr. LIGUORI explaining the depth of the Holy Mass at Emmaus This Thursday
Hello brothers and sisters,
This Thursday, Fr. Liguori will be coming to Emmaus to discuss and explain more deeply what takes place during Holy Mass. Everything we do, every word we say (or the priest says) is pregnant with meaning! We will discuss why we do what we do in the Mass and its scriptural basis. Fr. Liguori is great priest and teacher of the faith. And with the new Roman missal and liturgical changes coming this Advent (and our discussion of them at Emmaus during November) this will give us a good foundation. Understanding the richness and meaning of the Mass, will help us to never again be bored, but approach with gratitude, humility, and awe! You don't want to miss this!
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
"Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself."
