ALPHA 8 Participants
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? 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 all of us where we are on our faith journey and invites us to grow in our relationship with Jesus.
Alpha takes place over 11 weekly sessions and a “weekend retreat” (a Friday evening and Saturday). Each session runs from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm and includes sharing a meal, watching a video, and discussing the video in a small group setting. We believe that you will find the videos to be engaging and the format to be fun and interesting. Take a look at the trailer below to get the “feel” of Alpha: -

Alpha is free!
I am coming and will not know anybody else. Is that normal?
Yes. Most people come to Alpha without knowing anybody else in the course. By the end of the course, most people become good friends. Alpha is a great way to meet new people.
