Bishop Christian Riesbeck,  former auxiliary bishop of Ottawa and current bishop of St. John, tells how he saw Alpha transform his parish.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring life's big questions in the light of the Christian faith. Alpha groups are run in parishes throughout the Archdiocese.  Each session is a time of fellowship with others who are seeking to allow God, through the Church, to enliven their lives. Vibrant video teachings, discussions, and often a shared meal, make this a time of deep faith and fellowship.

What topics does Alpha cover?
Each session on Alpha features a different question about life and faith. Here’s the run-down:

• Is there more to life than this?
• Who is Jesus?
• Why Did Jesus Die?
• How Can I Have Faith?
• Why and How Do I Pray?
• Why and How Do I Read the Bible?
• Who is the Holy Spirit?
• What does the Holy Spirit Do?
• How Can I Be Filled With the Holy Spirit?
• How Can I Make The Most Of The Rest Of My Life?
• How Can I Resist Evil?
• Why and How Should I Tell Others?
• Does God Heal Today?
• What About The Church?
