Hearts on Fire.

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 that go far beyond a typical Sunday.

This is not a retreat. This is an encounter.

To turn stony hearts into hearts on fire.
