Dear Brothers in Christ,
We all need to take time away from the busy pace of today’s world to go to an out of the way place. There we can focus and reflect on our life, our purpose, our relationship with God and with those around us, a sort of spa for our souls. The Saint Hugh Men’s Emmaus Ministry offers you an opportunity to experience this on the weekend of October 27th to October 29th, 2023.
What is Emmaus? Emmaus is a weekend retreat program for people aged 21 and older who are seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ regardless of their present level of faith and practice. The purpose of the weekend is to give men an opportunity to reflect on themselves and on their relationships with God and their community. It is a Catholic retreat that is open to people of all Christian faiths. Emmaus is a retreat run by lay men, like you, who have done the retreat in the past.
DATE: 27th, 28th and 29th of October 2023 (Friday to Sunday)
TIME: Friday 6:00 p.m. (please be on time) until Sunday, 3:30 p.m.
PLACE: CASA MANRESA. 12190 SW 56th Street, Miami, FL 33173. Phone: (305) 596-0001
RETREAT CLOSING MASS: Sunday, 5:30 p.m. at St. Hugh Church (3460 Royal Road, Coconut Grove, FL 33130). From the retreat house we will return to our homes and later meet at St. Hugh Church where you are welcome to bring your families and friends for the 5:30 p.m. Holy Mass. The participants and their guests will have reserved seating at the front of the church. All participants should arrive no later than 5:15 p.m. as that Mass is regularly quite full. There will be an informal reception after the Mass in the Parish Hall for the participants and their families to meet and mingle, food and drinks will be provided. INVITE YOUR FAMILY!
What do you need to bring? You will need personal toiletries, medications, bath towels, casual comfortable clothing and a sweater, as rooms do tend to get cold. All meals will be provided.
If you do not have a way to get to the retreat house, please let us know and an Emmaus Brother will be glad to offer a ride.
