Adult Discipleship and Marriage Formation

Through the holy sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Matrimony, we have received the grace and guidance essential for adult discipleship
and the sacred formation of Christian marriage, deepening our commitment to Christ and each other in God's appointed time.

We are dedicated to developing mature Catholic followers prepared for apostolic service in today's world. Through our programs, participants can deepen their relationship with Jesus, continue their spiritual growth, and gain the tools necessary for impactful service.

Alpha

What is Alpha?

In an era marked by loneliness, faceless interactions, and digital hostility, Alpha offers resources and guidance for congregations, faith communities, and individuals to foster environments where genuine, transparent discussions about life's most profound questions can flourish. All people are invited, and every inquiry is valued.

While Alpha originates from the Church, serves the Church, and operates within it, it functions globally across diverse venues, private homes, coffee shops, dining establishments, correctional facilities, and beyond. Increasingly, Alpha is being adopted by groups and people who want to establish welcoming environments for meaningful dialogue about matters of faith.

ChristLife

"More than 50 parishes throughout the Archdiocese of the Sacred Heart have been presented with ChristLife. The feedback I'm receiving fills me with great hope.

I am pleased to support this vital ministry within our parish communities." - Archbishop ++Sean Alexander
