The Movements of the Heart: Emmaus Nights Continues
Seminarian Noah Yankovich will be speaking at our Emmaus Night speaker series by giving our young adults a talk called "The Movements of the Heart." This is the second talk in a series on the interior life. The interior life is the conversation that a man has with himself when he has nothing to distract him--his thoughts, feelings, and desires. The interior life can either lead us to prayer or lead us to sin.
Here's the schedule:
- 6:30pm: Gather in the main church for silent Eucharistic Adoration
- 7pm: Coffeehouse environment in the Parish Life Center, Room 115 (Youth Ministry Room)
- 7:20pm: Noah gives a talk
- 7:45pm: Q&A
- 8:10pm: Depart for dinner (IHOP, 813 St Andrews Rd, Columbia, SC 29210)


EN: On Good Friday, members of our youth group got up early to participate in our annual Good Friday day of service. In the morning we held Camp Awesome. A day camp experience for children who are underprivleged and underserviced. At 3:00, we went to the church for Veneration of the Cross. After veneration, we went back to the youth room to watch The Passion of the Christ together... It was a beautiful day of Service, prayer and reflection.

Fue un hermoso día de servicio, oración y reflexión.

EN: During Lent, our youth group prepared a special version of the Stations of the Cross using silhouettes. With light, shadows, and reflections, they helped us reflect on Jesus’ final journey in a powerful way. Each station was acted out with care and prayer. It was meaningful and beautiful to watch. We’re so proud of our teens for sharing their faith and creativity with our parish. ES: Durante la Cuaresma, nuestro grupo de jóvenes preparó una versión especial del Viacrucis usando siluetas. Con luz, sombras y reflexión, nos ayudaron a meditar de manera profunda sobre el camino final de Jesús. Cada estación fue representada con cuidado y oración. Fue algo muy significativo y hermoso de ver. Estamos muy orgullosos de nuestros jóvenes por compartir su fe y creatividad con nuestra parroquia.
