What is an Emmaus Experience?

The Emmaus experience where men and women gather to be ministered to by God
through other men and women, respectfully. For those who wish to experience God, renew and deepen their relationship with the Lord, this is a time for personal growth. Everyone needs to take a little time away from the stresses of today’s world. This is an opportunity to set some time aside for you. The retreat is based on the Gospel of Luke 24:13-35.

Is Emmaus unique to our parish?

No, but Corpus Christi Catholic Church is one of the first parishes in Tampa to offer
the retreat for parishioners facilitated by parishioners.

Where is it?

The retreat is held at the Bethany Center in Lutz. Transportation, in the form of a carpool, can be arranged.

I want to attend, but I'm not ready.

The #1 reason most people hesitate to go on an Emmaus retreat is FEAR. Yes, fear of
the unknown is what prevents many people from taking advantage of our parish hosted event to help grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus. Well, the TRUTH is that there is nothing to fear. Take the step that you've been longing to take.

"At once Jesus spoke to them, saying, Take courage it is I, do not be afraid.'" Matthew 14:27
