Meet outside the church after mass for dinner plans.

Upcoming Events

2024 Fall Alpha Programs
Open to all ages: Starting Sept 5
Newman Alpha (Ages 18 - 25): Starting Sept 30
In a world of isolation, anonymity, and keyboard-warriors, Alpha offers content and guidance for churches, ministries, and individuals to create a space for honest and open conversations about life’s biggest questions.
Everyone is welcome and no questions are off limits.
This is a series of group conversations that take place over dinner where participants are encouraged to freely explore the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. While the course is orientated to engage people who have recently encountered Christ, you’re invited, no matter your background, beliefs, or what stage you are currently at along your journey with Him.
It’s free, the food is good, and there’s no pressure to come back if you find it's not for you.
These courses are highly recommended if you have friends or family who are curious about Christianity and / or those who have questions they never felt they really got a solid or direct answer to when they were young.
Please reach out to Benjamin Cowan if you are interested: [email protected]
