(Pilgrim's Full Name Goes Here), a dear friend, loved one, family member, or acquaintance will be attending what is known as the Walk to Emmausat (Place where Walk is occurring) on (Date Walk is occurring). (Pilgrim) has touched your life in some way, shape or form and I ask for your assistance in making(his/her) Walk that much more special.

The walk to Emmaus is designed to be a weekend that will provide spiritual growth, Christian love, be full of happiness, and will be full of surprises. One such surprise is receiving notes from family, friends, coworkers, and loved ones. This is truly a welcome surprise since (Pilgrim) will not have contact with the outside world or those of us in it during the 72 hours(he/she) is there. In fact, (he/she) will be free from grueling schedules, phones, computers, TV, radio, and work; in other words free from all the stresses we each deal with daily.

As (Pilgrim)’s Sponsor, I am contacting as many folks as possible who know (Pilgrim), including(his/her) other family members, friends, coworkers, and loved ones from(his/her) past, present, and believe it or not even(his/her) future, and are asking them to send a letter to(him/her). (Pilgrim) will receive these at a very special time during(his/her) Walk.

This is an opportunity for you to tell(him/her) how(he/she) may have influenced your life, or recall a humorous event, or reminisce on a special event that is very special to just you and(him/her). It can be just a general letter of support and need not be religious in any way if you choose. This is a letter of love and/or friendship that will be read by (Pilgrim) and (Pilgrim) alone; not even I, as(his/her) Sponsor are able to read the letter you sent.

Would you please help me make (Pilgrim)’s Walk to Emmaus special by doing the following?

  1. Write a note or letter. There is no requirement on length; it can be as long or short as you want.
  2. Sign your letter and place it in a sealed envelope.
  3. Write (Pilgrim)’s first and last name,(Pilgrim), on the envelope. Please do not write your name on the envelope in order to ensure(he/she) is surprised.
  4. In the upper right hand corner of the envelope place one of the following codes:
  5. F for Family,
  6. C for Close friends,
  7. or O for Others (like long lost friends, former classmates and coworkers)
  8. Put the envelope in a larger envelope with your return address and mail it to me at the following address:
