Alpha at St. Agnes
Questions About Life? Faith? God? You're Not Alone.
You've probably heard people around St. Agnes talking about Alpha. But what exactly is it?
Alpha is a series of conversations about life, faith, purpose, and meaning. It's designed for anyone—whether you're deeply involved in church, just starting to explore faith, returning after years away, or simply curious about what Christianity is all about.
No pressure. No preaching. No question is off limits.
So, What Happens at Alpha?
Every Alpha gathering includes three simple things:
🍽 A great meal
🎥 A short, engaging video
💬 Honest conversation
That's it.
Each week, we explore topics like:
Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus?
Why do people pray?
How can I find purpose and meaning?
Does God still matter today?
You don't have to agree with anyone. You don't need any background in faith. You can ask questions, share your perspective, or simply listen.
Why Alpha?
Let's be honest: many people today aren't sure what they believe about God, the Bible, or religion—and that's okay.
Alpha creates a welcoming space where people can explore those questions openly and authentically. It's a place to meet new people, hear different perspectives, and discover what faith might mean in your own life. It is not Catholic, but Christian.
What began in a church in London, England, has now grown into a worldwide movement. Alpha is offered in more than 100 countries and translated into over 100 languages, helping millions of people explore faith in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Since 2022, more than 190 people have participated in Alpha at St. Agnes—as guests, small-group leaders, prayer team members, and hospitality volunteers.
The impact has been remarkable. New friendships have formed, faith has grown, and many people have experienced a deeper connection with God and with our parish community.
Because of this, Alpha an integral part of the renewal and mission of St. Agnes.
We offer Alpha twice each year and invite everyone to come:
Parishioners
Friends and neighbors
Young adults
Couples
Parents
People who have never attended church
People returning to faith after many years away
Everyone is welcome. What Does It Cost?
Nothing.
Alpha is completely free, including meals.
