Alpha
Alpha is the place where you can take an honest look at the Big Questions in life. If you've ever asked yourself “Is there more to life than this?” then Alpha is for you! At Alpha, you'll meet great people and have a chance to put your thoughts, questions, and doubts on the table, without being judged or discouraged. Our guests have described Alpha as "the antidote for Catholic guilt" and "the opposite of my CCD experience as a kid."
"A time to reconnect with the spirit and community." - Alpha Online Guest

Nuestros participantes han descrito Alpha como "el antídoto para el sentimiento de culpa católico" y "la experiencia que me faltaba en la iglesia de adolescente".

From our Guests
"Alpha gave me to courage to connect with others about my faith and reminded me of the importance of fellowship on this faith journey. - Alpha Online Guest
"Alpha helped me because it gave me space to talk about my relationship with God". - Alpha Online Guest
"Alpha gave me the opportunity to connect with others to discuss issues of faith and how to deepen faith." - Alpha Online Guest
"We all live such busy hectic lives, sometimes we just need to stop the world and get off! I recently had a tragic Loss, my sweet Godson, and Nephew. He was a promising 29-year-old...... gone way too soon from incurable Brain Tumor. As I still struggle with his loss, I also struggled with God, and of course, my faith. Sitting in Mass one Sunday, Alpha was being "advertised " and explained- I was intrigued." - Alpha Guest
There was something about gathering to break bread and discuss all the aspects of our faith each week. I found I was becoming excited to see my new friends every Wednesday." - Alpha Guest
"Every week there is a new theme, new discussions. All wonderful and thought-provoking for me, in my journey, to forgive God, since I had no one else to blame for my unbearable sadness. Through Alpha, I realized it is true faith, your faith that brings you peace and assists us through our struggles in our Daily Lives." - Alpha Guest
