Emmaus is a ministry for everyone from Sacred Heart (Shawano) and St. Martin (Cecil) Parishes and the surrounding areas. It offers the opportunity to enter into a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and introduces a support system that builds a feeling of family and fellowship within the church.
Emmaus begins with either a Women's or Men's weekend retreat at Camp Tekakwitha Retreat & Conference Center in Shawano WI. This retreat enhances the spirituality of the participants and launches new friendships through the events of the weekend.
The retreats take place once a year in the fall; beginning on Friday evening and ending mid afternoon on Sunday the second weekend in October. You will return home and to your workplace refreshed and renewed.
This Emmaus experience continues throughout the year with separate monthly meetings for the Men and Women, enabling one to grow deeper in Faith and in Community with one another. The Women also offer a Living Emmaus weekend Retreat in the Spring of each year for those who have attended the one-time Fall Retreat.
