WHAT IS ALPHA?

Alpha is a series of eleven interactive weekly sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith.  Each session includes food, a short talk, and a discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts. There’s no pressure, no follow up and no charge.

Whether you are new to the faith, deeply versed in Catholicism, or just curious about how the Christian faith answers the big questions of life, Alpha is for you.  The talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.

There’s no charge to be part of Alpha, however donations are appreciated to offset the cost of food.

RECIPES

Many have asked for some of the recipes to some of the homemade dishes that were served at Alpha this year.  Here are the most requested ones:
