The Alpha Course provides is a simple format that has worked for the Diocese of Scranton and other parishes! We invite people to a dinner. After breaking bread together, we watch a video that addresses the longing many modern people feel and how God alone can fill that hole. The group then discusses what they heard. They meet again for ten sessions total with a weekend retreat mid-way through the program. The program succeeds because it connects the longing of the human heart for God and it creates a community where people feel they belong. This is a ministry of the Catholic Social Services of The Diocese of Scranton.
