Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Catholic Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. It has borne great fruit over its more than 20 year history. Alpha provides the time and space to consider and discuss the “big questions” in life: What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? Who is the Holy Spirit?
For those who are already practicing Catholics, Alpha offers an opportunity to consider what we believe and why we believe it, and allows us to renew our openness to the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. Alpha is designed to meet everyone where they are and invite them to grow ever closer to Jesus.
So as to avoid any confusion, Alpha is not a Bible study or Catholic education course. All adults are welcome, regardless of whether single, married, widowed, divorced, strong in your faith, searching for God in your life, or just starting out on your faith journey. Just like the words of the Church song, "All Are Welcome in This Place." Alpha takes place over 8 weekly sessions and a “ retreat” (a Friday evening and Saturday). Each session runs from 8:15am-9:30am and includes sharing a meal, watching a video, and discussing the video in a small group setting.
Participants find the videos to be engaging and the format to be fun and interesting. Take a look an episode below to get the “feel” of Alpha. Then don't wait - sign up now!
