Alpha!
February, 2023
Alpha is one of the key elements of our parish vision and culture.
Alpha has something to offer to everyone, whether you are a lifelong Catholic or someone who wants to understand more about Christianity.
Alpha is a series of video presentations accompanied with a discussion in a relaxed, fun and welcoming atmosphere. Come and try Alpha and ask those ‘Life’s big questions’ whilst connecting and building new relationships.
If you are someone who has experienced your faith come alive through Alpha, invite others who need this experience. Register using the link below and we will find an Alpha Group that fits the time that works best for you!
