Evangelization


Encounter Christ. Ask questions. Find community. Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in an open, friendly environment.

What is Alpha?

Alpha for Catholics

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the Christian faith in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Each session includes a meal, a short film, and open conversation in small groups.

No question is too simple or too difficult. Alpha is designed for anyone curious about faith — whether you’re new to Christianity, returning to the Church after time away, or simply want to go deeper in your relationship with Christ.

Alpha runs for approximately 11 weeks. There’s no cost, no commitment, and no pressure. Just come as you are.

Everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.

The Experience

How Alpha Works


1

Share a Meal

Every session begins with food. Sharing a meal builds community and creates a comfortable space for real conversation.

2

Watch a Film

A short, thought-provoking video introduces a big question about faith and meaning. Topics range from “Who is Jesus?” to “How does God guide us?”

3

Discuss Together

Small groups talk openly about the topic. Everyone’s perspective is valued. There are no wrong questions, no lectures, and no judgment.
