Thank you to all participants who signed up for our first session of Alpha! Although the winter session starting Jan. 13 is now full, St. Mary’s is now happy to accept names of guests for the waiting list for next Alpha, likely this fall. To recap, Alpha is a 10-week program held evenings at St. Mary’s Parish Center. Each session begins with a casual shared meal, followed by a video designed to engage and inspire conversation and a small group discussion, including approximately six guests per table. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing a guest can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute new perspectives in an honest, friendly and open environment.
