Abbreviated Emmaus Schedule:

This is a rough planned schedule of daily events. Of course, as the weekend unfolds, it will take on a tempo all its own. This two dimensional overview of the weekend, which lists activities and topics, cannot adequately communicate what really happens in and among the participants as a result of being together for three days, focused on the love of God. Nevertheless, this outline gives a picture of what goes on among the pilgrims in the conference room and chapel.

This outline also shows why we describe the Walk as a short course in Christianity, not a relaxing retreat. While the Walk to Emmaus® is fun and rejuvenating, it is also concentrated and full. Don't bring work from the office or have hopes of taking an afternoon off to read. Come with empty hands and open hearts, planning to give yourself completely to the Walk...
