Emmaus House celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Sunday, September 17 by recommitting to its good work in Peoplestown and re-affirming its designation as a Jubilee Center of The Episcopal Church. Vicky Partin, Diocesan Jubilee Officer, invited the staff, board, vestry, and clergy to affirm the ministry of joint discipleship in Christ with poor and oppressed people, to meet basic human needs, and to build a just society. Emmaus House was designated a Jubilee Center in 2008.
