"Emmaus Nights: Mary, the Refuge of Sinners and Cause of Our Joy" by David DesPres

  • St. Joseph Catholic Church 87 Lacy St NW Marietta, GA 30060 (map)

Emmaus Nights is a weekly Thursday gathering of young adults for Eucharistic Adoration, a coffeehouse environment, and a talk. We will go out for dinner and drinks afterward. During Lent, the talks will be centered around the theme of mercy. The series name comes from Luke 24:13-35 in which Jesus encounters the disciples and walks with them. In that encounter, the disciples are surprised by how Jesus enters into their experience and how their hearts are transformed in the process.

Here's the schedule:

  • 6:30 pm: Eucharistic Adoration

  • 7:00 pm: Coffeehouse environment

  • 7:20 pm: Talk

  • 7:45 pm: Discussion

  • 8:10 pm: Leave for dinner and drinks
