The Emmaus Walk: From Distraction to Real Presence
Saturday, April 18, 2026, 8:30 am-12:30 pm, Marian Hall
Speaker: Amy Auzenne
Director | Office of Evangelization & Catechesis | Archdiocese of Galveston Houston
Come explore how we can shift our daily focus from worldly distractions to "Kingdom things" by inviting Christ into our conversations and communities. Drawing on the Emmaus narrative, we will reflect on the Eucharist as the ultimate "true truth" that brings about transformation in our lives. Hoe does the Real Presence call us as women to be transformed and to live as "broken bread" for others?
Cost per person: $30.00
