Alpha Team

Help Others Explore Life, Faith, and Meaning:

The Alpha Team will help introduce Alpha in a Catholic Context to our Family of Parishes and support the launch of our first Alpha experience beginning in January 2027. Working under the direction of the Alpha Planning Team, volunteers will help create a welcoming environment where participants can build relationships, ask questions, and explore the Christian faith. Alpha is designed as a series of gatherings over approximately 7-11 weeks and relies on dedicated volunteers who can warmly welcome guests, facilitate discussion, and help create an atmosphere of hospitality and encounter.

Volunteer openings: At least 12 team members needed
