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.

Thurs- Volleyball at Christ the King Church

Hi brothers and sisters in Christ,

This Thursday, Sept. 3rd, we will have volleyball at Christ The King's school gym. So please make plans to come to Christ the King and not St. Ephrem's this Thursday! We will be celebrating Emmaus birthdays for July, Aug, and Sept. So there will be pizza and cake.

This is a great opportunity for us to invite a friend to join us or co-worker or anyone you might have recently met and the Lord put in your heart to invite! :)

Volleyball nights are so much fun and a great opportunity to evangelize others to Christ by getting to know all of us in a fun atmosphere.

The address is :
Christ the King Catholic Church
742 Arlington Rd NJacksonville, FL 32211

We will meet in front of the gym for the Holy Rosary at 7pm and volleyball will start about 7:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you this Thursday!

In Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team (Elizabeth, Joe, Jeff, Sean, Jennifer & Peggy)
