Emmaus This Thursday, May 2, Cinco de Mayo at St Augustine Beach Pier

Brothers and Sisters,

This Saturday, May 2, we'll be having our annual Cinco de Mayo beach event at the St Augustine Beach Pier and Pavilion. We will be meeting at 11:30am at the pavilion. As usual, we will have a grill and hotdogs provided, please feel free to bring a side item with you. This has always been a great, family friendly event.

Young Adult Day of Reflection this Sat., 4/25

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,




We hope you are having a joyful Easter season!  This Saturday, 4/25, the Diocese is having a Young Adult Day of Reflection at St. Luke's in Middleburg.  We as Emmaus will be attending the event.  Here is a portion of the email from Mike Sylvester, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry:

"I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know about an upcoming event for Young Adults sponsored by the Diocese.  On April 25^th we will host the first Young Adult Day of Reflection at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Middleburg, FL. Fr. Jeffery Kirby, S.T.L., from the Diocese of Charleston, SC will be our presenter for the day.  Our day will be a mix of presentations by Fr. Kirby along with discussions amongst other young adults.  Our day is called, “Lord, Teach Us to Pray,” and will be focused on how we communicate – not just with our words – with God by our lives.

 

The cost for the day is $15 and that includes lunch and a copy of Fr. Kirby’s book. My hope is that you will be able to join us on the 25th. Young Adults can register at www.dosafl.com/yaday"

You can pay at the door if you prefer (my guess is cash only), but please register online so Mike can get a head count for lunch.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Emmaus This Thursday, April 16, Women's Help Center Gala

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Thursday, April 16, we will once again be helping out with the Women's Help Center Gala at the Hyatt Regency Riverfront in downtown Jacksonville. We will be helping to check people in and also escorting the VIP's to a private reception prior to the Gala. Former vice presidential candidate Senator Rick Santorum and Bishop Estevez will be speaking at this years event. Thank you to those who signed up to help this year. It won't disappoint. For those who did sign up, we do ask that you show up by 5:30pm. Thanks to those who did let me know you'll show up not to long there after. As mentioned before, please wear a white shirt and black bottoms, please look professional (no t-shirts and so forth). We do have a table reserved for us and dinner will be provided as well. We might have another Catholic group helping us out this year, so if you didn't originally sign up with me earlier, there may not be a seat for you for dinner.
