ALPHA

Alpha in a Year 
The Alpha program at St. Francis has expanded to offer “Alpha in a Year,” which will meet on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm in the school building. Alpha is for anyone who wants to come together in community to explore the questions of our lives and faith and is open to anyone, regardless of experience or background. Participation in the entire year-long series is not required, but encouraged.
Each gathering begins with a meal, continues with a video presentation, and concludes with conversation regarding shared lived experience.

Alpha Alumni Gatherings
Each month, anyone who has participated in the Alpha program is invited to come together. These evenings provide an opportunity to enjoy a meal, time together, and casual conversation about what the Holy Spirit has been doing in our lives in the past few weeks. We gather on the last Thursday of each month (unless otherwise noted) in the parish rectory at 6:30 pm.
