Walking Together with Christ 💙Team Emmaus began our August spiritual journey last night by leading Day 1 of our Parish Novena. 🙏🏽This morning, we continued our journey with a Prayerful Walk, taking time to pray, reflect, share and walk together as we prepare our hearts to become Pilgrims of Hope for World Youth Day Korea 2027.

As we begin this journey, we are reminded that we do not walk alone Christ walks with us✝️

Every step, every prayer and every moment shared together draws us closer to Him. May Our Blessed Mother continue to guide us as we journey to Jesus through Mary💙🙏🏽
