Emmaus Rtreat Centre
Emmaus Retreat Centre is an expansion of Divyakarunya Mariyabhavan, Mallappally. It is the Retreat & Counseling Center of MCBS Emmaus Province at Mallappally, the Birth Place of Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (MCBS). The Congregation was Founded on 07th May 1933 at Mallappally Mission Church (Presently known as St. Athanasius Church, Nedungadappally) and blessed by His Grace Mar James Kallassery, then Bishop of Changanassery. Mallapplly Church was called Divyakarunya Koventha that time. The founders, Fr Mathew Alakkulam and Joseph Paredom lived at Divyakarunya Koventha for 53 Days. After that, they moved to Parel Building at Changanassery as instructed by the Bishop.
Heavenly patrons are the saints who always make intercession for the people who seek the blessings of the LORD. They are also the role models for the people who visit the retreat centre.
“If we wish to discover in all its richness the profound relationship between the Church and the Eucharist, we cannot neglect Mary, Mother and model of the Church…Mary can guide us toward this most holy sacrament because she herself has a profound relationship with it.” - (Blessed Pope John Paul II, Ecclesiade Eucharistia)
"I have great love for Saint Joseph, because he is a man of silence and strength. On my table I have an image of Saint Joseph sleeping. Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the Church! Yes! We know that he can do that. So when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note and I put it underneath Saint Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words I tell him: pray for this problem!" - Pope Francis
The patronage of St. Joseph Cupertino helps the students to excel in their studies. He is also the patron saint of aviation.
