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. 

Why should you try Alpha?

Alpha is for everyone – it’s a place for real conversations about life without criticism or judgment. You deserve a place where you can explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and share your point of view – all while connecting with others.

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.”

“The power of being prayed over really helped me find peace when dealing with a crisis.”

“Alpha has given me a new perspective of my faith and motivated me to start trying to develop more of a relationship with Jesus.”

“As a person who had no religious experience, I feel a change in my life.”

“This is something new, something ‘fresh’ that we as Catholics need. It’s a reminder of what we already know, but from another perspective.”

“The entire program awakened belief and made faith important again.”

“My experience was very profound during Alpha. I feel a strong sense of belonging and fellowship with the group.”

“Brought Christ’s love to my heart – realize more the power of living in His love and wisdom.”
