Of all the verses in the New Testament this line from Luke most nearly defines the soul of the Emmaus Community.  Since its 1972 start as a non-territorial parish, the Emmaus Community has always emphasized the Eucharist as the prime source of life for the community.  We've been involved in many causes but we always come home on Sunday to renew ourselves.

 

We are a small faith community numbering 35. We are mature Roman Catholics who try to extend our Sunday liturgy experiences through the week in our lives and in the world around us. Our priest-ministers are members of the community. One Fordham Jesuit, Fr. Vin Novak, told us that being with Emmaus has been "a strong learning experience for strengthening my priesthood."
