Emmaus Catholic Church — Attraction in Lakeway

Went to mass at 10:30am on Sunday 05/15/22. My mother went in first and is recovering from knee surgery.

Either this church needs to revitalize its liturgy and community or it’ll be abandoned in the...

Honestly, it feels a bit weird reviewing a church. I was moved by my experience here on Psalm Sunday this year. We were visitors during our trip back home to Houston. This is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve been in. The choir is very talented and makes the experience here more impactful. Whenever I find myself in this area again, I would not hesitate to...
