Emaús

The Emmaus Experience is a retreat is available for men and women separately. This movement is based on the Gospel of Saint Luke chapter 24,13-24, The Disciples of Emmaus. Like the disciples of Jesus at Pentecost, we feel our hearts burning with the desire to pass on to others what we have received by the grace of the Holy Spirit through the Emmaus retreat. Our desire is to make it available to all the parishes of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Welcome /Bienvenidos

It is an effective process of spiritual renewal which unites the members of the parish (priests, religious, laity) to be able to experience personal conversion and Christian community in the environment of their own parish. The secret is its simplicity. In the context of personal rebirth and parish rehabilitation this is: evangelization, repentance, catechesis, communal opportunity to commit oneself, spiritual formation, apostolate, service and building up of the Christian community.
