There has been an awesome response to ALPHA 11, but we must close registration at this point. I wish there were a way for us to accommodate every person who wants to participate, but we do have limitations. If you are still interested, please register anyway, and you will be put on our wait list. We often are able to accommodate people on our wait list, so hang in there. If space becomes available, you will be contacted to see if you are able to join us. It is my prayer that we will be able to allow everyone who wants to participate the opportunity to do so. Alpha is an amazing journey!!

Alpha 10
-
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.
So as to avoid any confusion, Alpha is not a Bible study or Catholic education course. It is designed to meet you where you are on your faith journey and help you to develop a closer, more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
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: -

fAQDo I have to talk and share my thoughts?
No. You may remain silent the entire time if you wish..
How long is an Alpha session?
Sessions last approximately 1.5-2 hours. They go by quickly. We start on time and always end on time.
Who should register for Alpha?
Anyone over the age of 18 can register. Everyone is welcome - women, men, married couples, and single adults.
How much does Alpha cost?
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.
Can I just "come and see" for the first week?
Yes. Just register to let us know you’re coming (so we have enough food prepared for you).What if I go for a week or two and don’t want to continue?
Is childcare available?
If you don’t want to continue after a week or two, no worries. We will not call you or bother you if you don’t come back.
Yes, childcare will be available in the CYO Youth Room.
I have more questions. Whom do I contact?
