NEXT EVENT:
Considering Life’s 4 Big Questions: An engaging conversation for those in the Autumn of life
Led by Fr. Tom Hickey
Saturday, September 13, 2025
9:30 a.m. - Hospitality | 10-11:30 a.m. - Program
in Saint Clement Chapel
Life’s questions evolve as we do. In this special session, Fr. Tom Hickey will guide us through reflection on four profound and ever-relevant questions:
Who am I?
Who am I with?
What do I do?
What’s it all about?
Drawing inspiration from St. Thérèse of Lisieux, “The Little Flower,” we’ll also explore her Little Way—a spiritual path focused on doing small acts with great love. Come ready for meaningful conversation, spiritual insight, and community connection. We look forward to seeing you there.
Join our Fall Alpha Online Course!
Over the past few months, many of you shared that you’d like more opportunities to build community, and to explore and deepen your faith through meaningful discussion. In the last survey, offering Alpha targeted for those 55+ was mentioned several times.
So, in response, we are delighted to invite you to participate in Alpha Online beginning this Fall.
Alpha is often described as an introduction to Christianity, but many who are lifelong Christians with a strong faith life have found it to be an extraordinary experience. Why? Because Alpha creates space to discuss life's big questions, and the core elements of our faith with others—to ask questions, share perspectives, and listen to one another in an open, welcoming setting. Even for those who already have a deep faith, Alpha offers the gift of conversation, community, and new insights. No preparation required—just come as you are! We will watch a video each time and then engage in a judgement-free discussion.
