About Emmaus Sweden

Our story, our mission, and our faith

OUR STORY

The Road to Emmaus

Emmaus Sweden is rooted in the Gospel story of Luke 24 — two disciples walking a road of confusion and sorrow, until a stranger joined them and revealed himself as the Risen Christ in the breaking of bread.

That story is our story. We believe God walks with each of us on our own road — and that a retreat can be the moment where, like those disciples, our hearts begin to burn again.

Faith

Emmaus retreats are grounded in the Catholic faith and the living presence of Jesus Christ in the sacraments.

Community

We gather as a community of pilgrims — different backgrounds, one road, one destination.

Renewal

Whether you come with questions, burdens, or doubts — you are welcome. There is space for everyone on this road.

OUR MISSION

Why we do what we do

Emmaus Sweden exists to create space for people to encounter Jesus Christ in a personal and transforming way. We serve young adults and families across Sweden, bringing together volunteers, speakers, and spiritual guides to offer an experience of grace.

Every retreat is held in a spirit of love, hospitality, and prayer — following in the tradition of the international Emmaus movement.
