Alpha is a ten week series that Epiphany offers to Young Adults to inspire Catholic renewal and answer the call of Christ and His church to "go and make disciples of all nations." The Alpha course has proven to be an effective tool for awakening faith in people who are on the fringe of parish life, faithful Catholics and those outside the faith.

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that allow you to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share your point of view in a safe and friendly environment.

Sessions include:

Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus? Why did he die?
How can we have faith?
Why and how do I read the bible?
What about the church?

How does it work?
Each session includes food, a short talk and a discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts. At any point, if you think Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure and no charge.

The course will run for 10 weeks. Come through to the first one and see if it’s for you.

This is a great place to invite a friend who may be curious about the Christian faith.

ENDORSEMENTS FOR ALPHA

  • Archbishop Rino Fisichella

    President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelisation — Vatican

    “Alpha is without doubt a great experience of new evangelisation.”

  • Archbishop Allen Vigneron

    Archbishop of Detroit — USA

    “Many parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit have found Alpha a great tool for helping men and women hear the initial proclamation of the gospel. I am pleased that our use of Alpha with the archdiocesan staff has invited a recommitment to the basic truths of the gospel.”

  • Archbishop Octavio Ruiz

    Secretary for the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelisation — Vatican

    “Alpha, which I have had the opportunity to attend … is a providential tool because it precisely tries to reach out to those who are far from the Church, who are indifferent to the faith. By means of a very simple and humane tool based on fraternity and friendship, Christ is introduced to them and enters little by little into their hearts…”

  • Archbishop of Brisbane--Australia

    Archbishop of Brisbane — Australia

    “For many years now and in various parts of the world, Alpha has shown itself powerful in bringing faith alive in all kinds of people. Its focus is on Jesus, its method is simple and its appeal is wide-ranging. It is also well adapted for use in Catholic communities looking to provide the kind of ignition we need if we are to become a more missionary Church.”

  • Archbishop Alfred Martins

    Archbishop of Lagos — Nigeria

    “Alpha aims to help people to either discover or rediscover the meaning and joy of the Christian message. It gives one an opportunity to leverage on the experiences of others in a friendly warm and simple atmosphere. Alpha is an invaluable tool for evangelisation.”

  • Cardinal Kurt Koch

    President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity — Vatican

    “Through Alpha, and the testimonies of those who participated in their sessions and groups, faith is renewed, rekindle, takes root.”
