Alpha is a relaxed, welcoming space for men to step back from the busyness of life and explore faith, purpose and the big questions we all carry. Over a shared meal, engaging video and honest conversation, men are invited to talk openly, listen well and grow in their relationship with Christ.

Alpha runs for 11 weeks and includes a Saturday retreat, offering men a simple but powerful opportunity to build community and take a next step in faith.

Whether welcoming parishioners at the doors, proclaiming the Word of God or assisting with the distribution of Holy Communion, men have an important role in helping our parish family pray well and encounter Christ more deeply.
Men are invited to consider serving as ushers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion or lectors. Ushers offer hospitality and help create a welcoming, orderly environment for worship. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist in sharing the Body and Blood of Christ with reverence and care. Lectors proclaim the readings at Mass, allowing Scripture to be heard clearly and prayerfully by the whole assembly.
Serving at Mass is a simple but powerful way to put faith into action. It strengthens our own relationship with the Lord while helping others enter more fully into the celebration of the Eucharist.
