What is the Emmaus Initiative?<\/h3>\n

Marriage preparation leaders and sponsor couples will be given formation to learn how to adopt more of an Apostolic Mindset<\/em> and Biblical Worldview<\/em> to intentionally walk with engaged couples with the goal of leading them to an Initial Conversion<\/em>. The Emmaus Initiative will use a model of intentional accompaniment to Witness<\/em>, Proclaim<\/em>, Equip<\/em>, and Commission<\/em> engaged couples so they can be given the opportunity to become Missionary Disciples<\/em> for the church in this apostolic age that we are currently living.<\/p>\n

Emmaus<\/em> (mentor) couples<\/em> will be formed so they can grow in confidence to build Trust<\/em>, and present opportunities, so engaged couples can grow in curiosity<\/em> about the Catholic faith, and to lead engaged couples to an openness<\/em> and seeking<\/em> about what life and how a relationship with Jesus is seen as vital to flourish in their lives and marriage.<\/p>\n

The Emmaus accompaniment Initiative<\/em> strives to respond to the world today by offering formation for couples who work with engaged couples to grow in the joy of being a new generation of builders<\/em> of God\u2019s kingdom in this world today. We will endeavor to this by giving opportunities for each builder<\/em> to grow in authenticity with their Christian life and equip them with tools to intentionally accompany and disciple engaged couples to an initial or deeper conversion towards Christ.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
