What is Emmaus Youth?
Emmaus Youth Conference exists to awaken the hearts of the young Church to the power and presence of God in their midst — to turn stony hearts into hearts on fire.
Over three days, high schoolers from across the Fort Wayne area will encounter the living God through powerful sessions, Mass, Adoration, worship, Confession, and prayer experiences.
“There is no greater priority than this: to enable the people of our time once more to encounter God, the God who speaks to us and shares his love so that we might have life in abundance” – Pope Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini 2
