What is Alpha?  It’s a wonderful way to explore life and the Christian faith in an informal, open environment.  We all have big questions about life and meaning – why not spend some time searching for answers as we “stay at home” ? We invite you to join the Alpha course online to explore those big questions around life, meaning, and faith in an open and judgment free environment. No pressure. No follow-up. No charge. Join us  to ask questions, explore answers, and make new friends.

What Happens During an Alpha Course?

Alpha Online takes place across eleven sessions. Each session includes a short film and a discussion where you can share your thoughts with an online small group.Each talk is designed to create conversation in a friendly, honest, judgment-free and informal environment. Frequently asked questions are: Is there a God? Why am I here? What is my purpose?  If at any point you decide Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up and no charge.

We believe Alpha is a key component of what the future holds for us as a renewed Divine Mercy parish. It’s a wonderful way to renew your faith.  It’s an opportunity to get to know people in our faith community, whether they are from St. Philip or Sacred Heart. Come and check it out! No matter who you are or what you believe, everyone is welcome...Catholic or not…practicing or not…or simply curious…Join us!  You’ll love the food, the videos and the conversation.
 
Everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view. Take a chance!
