We are approaching our Spring Alpha “Taco Thursday” Kickoff Party and could not be more excited! All are invited to join us on

in the Fireplace Room of the Parish Rectory

This is our #1 “faith-raiser” at the parish and is a fantastic opportunity to experience the impact of Lent come Easter Sunday… all while having a ton of fun! But don’t take my word for it. Watch this short video of some of our guests from the last session of Alpha (easier to hear here than at the Unity Gala!) - click on the image below:

Alpha provides space to listen, share and learn. It is a place where people are seen, heard, valued and loved. We meet weekly over a home-cooked meal, watch an interesting video on one of life’s big questions, then have plenty of time for conversation on what we think about the topic. There is no judgment and it's a space where you can share anything, ask anything and feel free to question everything.

There is absolutely no cost to attend our Alpha course (although we jokingly say the cost of admission is to bring a friend!). Alpha is even better with a friend or two, but don’t let that stop you—you might create a new life-long friendship this season.

Not sure? We encourage everyone to come and see! There is no pressure to come back if Alpha isn’t for you.

Want to help us make this Alpha as big a success as possible? There are multiple ways we could use your help:

Click here to volunteer (Greeting, Serving/Cleaning up, Providing a meal).

Contact Sean O’Dea (sean@stjosaphatparish.org) or check out our Alpha page for more information. Thanks, and we hope to see you there!

Please help by completing a 10–15 minute survey as soon as possible:

There are also opportunities to complete the survey after daily and Sunday Masses. You can obtain a paper copy in church or the Parish Office, or by contacting Sean O’Dea.

The survey is only available until March 31, and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses are confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.

We will receive the results this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.

Thank you for helping St. Josaphat Parish!
