What’s the Catholic Church all about? Come and feed your mind as well as your heart as we explore the riches of our Catholic faith.

Never in the history of the Church has the laity been so well educated. At the same time, never in the history of the Church has there been such a poor understanding of the faith among Catholics.

In this day and age Catholics need more than ever to be able to integrate their faith into their everyday lives.

This course has grown out of our experience of Alpha, after which many people said, “What next?” This programme was developed to cover the areas of our Catholic faith not covered by Alpha. You do not need to have taken the Alpha program to come and benefit from this experience.
