The Youth ALPHA course (90 minute Session on Sunday Night) is designed to engage your youth in a dynamic online course that introduces the powerful possibility of a relationship with God. ALPHA is a 9-week series that makes it easy for you to help youth get excited about engaging conversations about faith.
* This is NOT a full replacement for Confirmation preparation, but rather a way to start evangelization with the Kergyma and help parishes get ministry off the ground given the Covid restrictions.
The training and facilitation that Parrhesia Catholic (in cooperation with the Archdiocese of Portland) provides will make it easy for your parish to continue ministry online or in-person after this course is completed. Your parish will have the tools needed to build a culture of discipleship and small group ministry in your parish.
