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.

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.

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:

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.

Emmaus this Thurs., 7/10

Hello friends,

 

This Thursday at Emmaus we will be watching a video from the Catholicism Series by Fr. Robert Barron entitled "A Body Both Suffering and Glorious: The Mystical Union of Christ and the Church."  Come on out and join us at Assumption in the Parish Family Center/Gym, Room 2A (the music room) and listen to Fr. Barron as he "explores the Catholic Faith's unique understanding of the relationship of Jesus Christ and the Church.  Witness how the Mystical Body of Christ is a living organism that stretches from Rome to New York, Sao Paolo, Manila, and Namugongo, embracing humanity in all of its joys and sorrows."  We will be starting at the usual time, 7pm, with Rosary at 6:30pm if you want to join us.  Have a blessed week and we look forward to seeing you this Thursday!
