The Emmaus Retreat:

The Road to Conversion

Presented by the Catholic Diocese of St. Peter the Apostle for the Chaldeans and Assyrians

 

The Emmaus Retreat was so amazing that words cannot describe it. This retreat has come from God. I was so far away from my faith and I was so miserable. The retreat opened up my heart so much that I couldn't believe it. The support of everyone and getting so close to God through everyone. You're hearing this from the class clown, the guy who's always making jokes and always messing around. Don't think twice about going on this because it's one of those things that will change you for the good and get you closer to God. The support of your fellow brothers and sisters that you get is amazing. You will never forget the people and how close you got to God through the retreat. God Bless!

The ability to stop time and reflect on the smallest details of life is something that is slowly losing its place in our world. We stopped time, we looked at where we were in life in relation to the Catholic faith. Now that we are back we know what we must hold fast to and what we must sacrifice in order to never again be lead astray in this world.

Going on the Emmaus retreat has to be the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me and will ever happen to me! No words can describe what I got out of going on this retreat. I am forever changed! I am so thankful to everyone who was on the retreat... I learned a special something from each and everyone who went on Emmaus and I love them all! Special shout out to everyone who made this retreat possible and who worked so so so hard to make it such a wonderful experience for everyone, THANK YOU! None of this would have been possible without God. He helped me to open up my heart and mind and I felt his presence all around! I will never drift away from him now that I know his greatness! I wish everyone in the entire world could go on this retreat, it is life changing! Ok but seriously, GO ON THIS RETREAT!
