What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs in cafés, churches, universities, homes, bars—you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: food, a talk and good conversation.

What are Holy Family Parishioners Saying About Alpha?

“My family and I are going through significant changes in our home. We recently moved from out of state. Alpha provided a lot of peace and comfort during this stressful time.”

“I feel a great sense of peace at Alpha. My goal is to make life Alpha, so I can carry this peace everywhere I go.”

“I felt a spiritual surge, like a hot, enduring – like lightning filling my heart and I was almost breathless. I was asking God to let the Holy Spirit fill me at the time and it was overwhelming.”

“I felt a greater invitation to Jesus and participation in my faith. While I trusted in Jesus’ ‘table’, I always felt unworthy. At the retreat, I felt invited and welcomed to the table.”
