What is Alpha?
Alpha is a chance to ask questions and ex-
plore the Christian faith in a fun,
no-pressure environment.
How does it work?
Each session includes food (in-person), a short video and a
discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts.
What if I try it and don’t like it?
If at any point you decide Alpha isn’t for you, that’s not a
problem. There’s no pressure, and no follow-up.

What a Wonderful Way to Start Our Year Together!
We are so grateful to Father Dan Cassidy and Father Steve Lanza for presiding over our Family
Masses last weekend. Father Dan told an unforgettable story about a teacher and her balloon game,
reminding us that we are all so much better when we give away rather than keeping things for
ourselves. Many thanks to all of our families who greeted, ushered, and handled traffic at both our
morning and afternoon Masses. Special thanks to our children who stepped up to serve as readers
and to bring up the gifts! You all were so well prepared and we were so proud of you. It made the
Masses extra special! It was wonderful to recognize all of our catechists and to give them a blessing
as we begin the year. And to our Family Faith families, we are off and running! Thank you! We will see
our Sunday morning children this Sunday at 8:50 a.m.!
