PT. 3 - DC AREA YOUNG ADULT GROUPS - EMMAUS HOUR DMV Catholic Tour attended the one-year anniversary of @emmaushappyhour at Don Tito. Fady Antoon started Emmaus Hour with a simple mission: to bring as many Catholics as we can in one room and to build community. Special guest, Jacob Ciccarelli (@jakefromtruthly) CEO and co-founder of Truthly AI (@truthly.ai - the world’s first Catholic Al app) shared a prayer and testimony from his app. I definitely recommend downloading truthly if you have not yet!

WASHINGTON — Young adult Catholics living in Washington, D.C., are flocking to the Emmaus Happy Hour, a monthly event that its founder says is rooted in authentic friendship and the spirit of the early Church. “We see all these Catholic communities that are separated from each other, and so the idea behind the happy hour is to bring as many of them as we can in one room and to build that community,” said Fady Antoon, the founder and organizer of the event, citing the Acts of the Apostles as his main inspiration for the event. “It’s like in the Book of Acts, when you read the disciples not only broke bread together, but also they prayed together and cared for the people in their community,” he said, underscoring the event’s charitable aspect. Attendees are invited to make an optional donation, which Antoon said goes to a local charity. “For example, usually we always donate to the Cathedral of St. Matthew Homeless Ministry,” he said, estimating the group to have donated around $1,000 to the D.C.-based ministry since the happy hour started in June 2025. The most recent happy hour, hosted at a rooftop venue in Arlington, Virginia, called Top of the Town, drew 190 attendees despite a lack of formal advertising, according to Antoon. During Lent, Antoon organized a holy hour that was attended by more than 120 people. The location of the happy hour — though always in Washington, D.C., or Virginia — changes from month to month, depending on where Antoon can find a venue willing to host the event for free. The Emmaus Hour always begins with a prayer led by a local priest but otherwise bucks additional structure. “The idea is to bring people together who share the same faith and values, but also to support each other, whether its professionally or on a social level,” he said, describing the gathering as a “support system” and place “to come after hours and socialize.” More at link in bio. ✍️ Madalaine Elhabbal #Catholic by @emmaushappyhour
