Bishop Galeone at Emmaus This Thursday!!!

Hello dear brothers and sisters,

I am so thrilled to tell you that we have had a special speaker in the works for a few months and it is finally time! We will be meeting in the Church at St. Ephrems (rosary starts at 7:00 PM with the meeting starting at 7:30) Please invite a friend and be sure to sit together near the front. We are so blessed to have a good and faithful Bishop in Bishop Galeone for just a little longer. I do not have the topic confirmed yet, so I will not presume, but honestly, does it really matter?? It's Bishop Vic! So please come out and support Emmaus and our Bishop.

I also humbly ask that you will keep my grandfather and my family in your prayers. Sadly, I will be unable to join you all this Thursday as I will be traveling to Wisconsin for my grandfather's funeral (he just passed away early yesterday morning). My grandfather was able to receive the sacraments and while we will mourn our loss, we do rejoice in his gain. Please pray also that as we unite our suffering with Christ's, He will use it for great things and draw our entire family and beyond closer to Christ, His Church, and each other.

As many of you know, my mom works at the Cathedral and Bishop Galeone just happened to be saying Mass on Sunday. Our dear Bishop was so kind and compassionate towards our family, even offering to say Mass this week for my grandfather. We are truly grateful for His kindness and thank all of you in advance for your prayers as well.

with love and joy because of our hope,

Jennifer

Saturday 1/23: Lunch and Music at St. Francis House

Hi friends,
We have a great opportunity to serve and love our Lord by helping to prepare and serve lunch this Saturday, January 23, at the St. Francis House in St. Augustine. Bart and Kyle had the awesome idea to play music during lunch, so it will be a joy for everyone there!

The St. Francis House is located at 70 Washington Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084. It is about 4 blocks south of the Lightner Museum. We can begin preparing food at 9:00 a.m., and we will serve lunch from 11:45-1:00. Please come by for any part of the day.
In Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team

Thurs: Moral Improv and Discussion

This Thursday we are having something special for Emmaus! We will be having some funny improv skits that deal with modern relationships. After the skits we will discuss what should have happened, whether what happened in the skit was a good or bad idea, and much more. Some of you may think you know the answers to all moral questions in life but wait until Thursday night when you really find out you don't know squat. :) Come out and have fun with us and learn about your faith at 7:30pm in the Main Hall. If you want to join the core team for a rosary be there at 7:00. See you Thursday!

In Christ,
Emmaus Core Team ( Sean, Liz, Jen, Joe, Jeff)
