Faculty / Catechist Retreats

We offer you the opportunity to schedule a day or evening retreat for Catholic School faculty and CCD Catechists at Emmaus House.  Our purpose is to assist each person with his/her personal relationship with God.  Faculty members will enjoy a day of spiritual reflection and renewal. Your retreat topic can be either chosen by the group or by the Emmaus House Staff.

Emmaus House conducts your retreats with or without meals.  If you would like to schedule a day at Emmaus House, please call (732) 442-7688.

Quiet Days and Evenings

Two thousand years ago, Jesus invited his friends to leave crowds for a quiet place in order to rest awhile and spend some time in prayer.  In the midst of our busy and fast-paced world, Jesus extends that same invitation to all of us.  The Emmaus House sets aside "quiet days and evenings" and opens their door for those who hear the invitation of the Lord.  These special days include time for Eucharistic adoration, prayer and quiet, a private room for rest and relaxation, and a light lunch or supper.  Spiritual direction is also available upon request.

Quiet Days:  Last Wednesday of every month (10:00 AM - 3:00 PM)
Quiet Evenings: Last Wednesday of every month (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM)
Free will offering (suggested donation $10.00). 
Please call (732) 442-7688 for reservations
