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.

Emmaus This Thursday, December 18, Mass at St Joseph's Historic Church

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Thursday, December 18, we will once again be doing something a bit different for Mass. We will be going to St Joseph's Historic Catholic Church for Mass at 6pm. There isn't Confession available, but if there is a priest floating around, it's always worth asking if you arrive early enough. St Joseph's Historic Catholic Church is located at 11730 Old St Augustine RD and is across the street from the main church, next to the Cody Enrichment Center. It is the small white building. Afterwards we will be going out to dinner somewhere near by.

We look forward to seeing you there,

Emmaus Core Team
