The goal of the Emmaus program is to reach out to the families in our community neighborhoods. Just as Jesus shared a journey to Emmaus with some of His disciples and was recognized in the breaking and sharing of the bread, we are called to share our Christian journey with each other and make Jesus present through our love and acts of charity. As our parish community has and will continue to grow, Emmaus will provide:

• A sense of welcome and hospitality for our neighbors and newcomers to our parish
• Smaller neighborhood communities where people can be known, loved and cared for through various neighborhood-driven events
• Basic information about our parish and its activities and programs

We have asked two families to pilot this effort for us in the Mission Hills neighborhood. If you are interested in doing something similar in YOUR neighborhood, please contact Brooke Keller, Director of Evangelization – bnkeller@stephen.org.
