Emmaus Groups are small groups that support participants' spiritual development and personal growth. These groups provide a safe environment for individuals to experience Christ's presence and power, regardless of where one might be on their spiritual journey. Much like the invitation to the Eucharist, Come!... those with much faith, those with little, and those who have tried and failed… all are welcome! Each session of weekly meeting runs for 10 weeks, with options for different days/times. For more info, please check out our Emmaus Info Page or email emmaus@stmatthews.com.

Join us on December 6 for a cherished holiday tradition as St. Matthew's Chamber Orchestra, Choir, and Soloists perform baroque seasonal favorites.
