AN EMMAUS EXPERIENCE:

An Open Invitation to All Women of the Parish

From Father Jerry

Dear Women of Sacred Heart,

Everyone needs to time away from the “hustle and bustle” of today’s world; And that’s the reason for this letter.

To the women of Sacred Heart, we are offering the perfect opportunity to not only take time from the business of day-to-day life but gifting yourself with the time to reflect on your spiritual life as well. By attending the upcoming Emmaus retreat, you will experience God and truly deepen your relationship with the Lord.

The Emmaus retreat is based on the Gospel of Luke 24:13-35. In the Scripture passage, two disciples meet the Risen Lord on their way to the village of Emmaus and recognize Him in the breaking of the bread.

I encourage women of the parish, ages 25 and older to prayerfully consider setting aside the weekend of February 13, 14 and 15 to attend this retreat to be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Retreat Center in Venice. You will make new friendships and return to your home and workplace refreshed and renewed. The Emmaus Ministry has spent many hours in preparation for a successful journey for you.

Register for the retreat after weekend Masses through February 2, or until all the slots are filled.  

Please don’t let this opportunity to travel the road to Emmaus with the Lord pass you by.

In His Unfailing Love,

Father Jerry
