Hello Brothers and Sisters!
This Thursday at Emmaus, Fr. Remek will be speaking about one of his heros and ours, Blessed John Paul II, the Great! Everything from his favorite writings or qualities of JPII to how this future Saint has impacted his own life (and many other vocations that have come from Poland) is on the table.
We can't wait to see you, so grab a friend, and join us for a great faith discussion and fellowship this Thursday at 7:00 PM at Assumption in Kohl's Hall (all are welcome for praying the rosary beforehand at 6:30).
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team

The Emmaus Story:
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. Luke 24: 28-35
