The Emmanuel Community

The spirituality of the Emmanuel Community was influenced by the apparitions of Christ to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. In the 17th Century, in Paray le Monial, France, Jesus revealed: “this Heart which has so loved men”. This message had a universal impact on the life and mission of the Church. Today also, the Heart of Jesus desires to show his mercy to all people.

Since 1975, the Emmanuel Community has been serving all those who desire to have this experience of God’s love. In many countries, it organizes summer sessions which have gathered more than 300,000 people. For many, the sessions have given them a moment of grace and very often, a life-changing experience.

Now it’s your turn, this summer, to let
yourself listen to the Heart of Christ!
