EMMAUS: 2008

EMMAUS: 2008 is the ninth annual retreat for gay and lesbian Catholics and Parents, Family and Friends of gay and lesbian Catholics. It will be held at the Jesuit Retreat House (JRH) on October 17-19, 2008.  LUKE 24:13-35 tells us that two of Jesus’ disciples met Him on the road to the village of Emmaus. The encounter renewed their hopes and sense of mission. Gay and lesbian Catholics continue to meet Jesus as they journey to the Kingdom. The Emmaus retreat is a time to encounter Christ and to share the journey together.

The Emmaus retreat will be facilitated by Denis Weber, S.J., Marian Durkin, C.S.A., and a retreat team.

Denis Weber is a member of the Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus. With a Masters in Spirituality from Duquesne University, he has directed retreats for homeless men in Chicago during the last two years as part of the Ignatian Spirituality Project.

Marian Durkin, one of the founders of the Emmaus Retreat, is a member of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine and is on the leadership team of her order.
