Lay Formation

Lay Formation is about forming people by learning more about our faith, our belonging to a vibrant Catholic community, deepening our relationship with God, and increasing our prayer life.

Lay Formation is an academic and pastoral formation program for Catholic men and women interested taking the 'next step' on their Christian journey. Inspired and informed by the Second Vatican Council's Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity (APOSTOLICAM ACTUOSITATEM) and Pope Francis' Evangelii Gaudium - The Joy of the Gospel, this unique program builds on four key pillars of the New Evangelization; we provide a deepening awareness of God's personal love and activity, create opportunities for encountering Christ and entering into a transformative relationship with him, help individuals to integrate that relationship into every aspect of our lives, and empower women and men to follow Christ's commission to "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19) is an academic and pastoral formation program for Catholic men and women interested taking the 'next step' on their Christian journey.

Alpha

Alpha poster

Alpha is a parish tool for evangelisation based on hospitality, sharing and open conversation. The same Alpha content is run all over the world, by Christians of all traditions, and provides a common expression of proclamation, service and witness. Millions of people have experienced Alpha in 112 languages in 169 countries around the globe.

Alpha is a tool for evangelization that is being used by thousands of Catholic parishes in over 70 countries around the world. Alpha is also run by churches of many other denominations to introduce people to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. This has led to more than 27 million people around the world experiencing Alpha. In particular, it is attracting many young people who are asking the question, 'Is there more to life than this?'
See if Alpha sessions are being offered at your parish.  Registration is usually free with the request of an offering if you so wish.
