Message from Lynda, Director of Alpha

At St. Patrick’s, Alpha is an important tool for our parish renewal. Our parish mission is “To bring God’s love into the world through a life-changing friendship with Jesus.” That is the entire purpose of Alpha – to focus on our faith as we journey with others.

During the course of an Alpha session, many people find that their faith in Jesus is deepened and some people come to faith for the first time. Some are motivated to share their stories because they want to encourage others to try Alpha. 

Alpha has been integrated into the RCIA (Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults) at St. Patrick’s and one of the testimonials has been written by Keri-Ann Craddock who was baptized at the Easter Vigil this year. Her time in Alpha was key to her decision to enter the Roman Catholic Church.

Here are a few words from some recent Alpha grads!
