Losing a child under any circumstances is horrific.
Focusing on the spirituality of the grieving process can help tremendously.
Just as He comforted His grieving disciples on the road to Emmaus,
Jesus comforts us and we comfort each other in this very special ministry.

Join other Emmaus Parent Companions
and our Spiritual Leader
in a warm and loving place—to think, to talk, to feel, and to pray.
Find compassion, rest, and peace… at least for a time.

We explore questions like…
Where is my child right now? Will I ever see him/her again?
What are the Church’s teachings on life after death?
What do I really believe?
Where is God in my pain? Is it ok to be this angry with God?
How can my faith help me get through this?
What if I don’t have any faith?

Retreat agenda includes prayer services, large and small group sessions,
spiritual reflections, breakout sessions, Emmaus Walk, and Mass.
All sessions are optional. Share as much or as little as you like.
Nothing is required. Many parents participate by listening.
