Alpha is a series of small group conversations that explore the basics of Christianity and the Catholic faith in a friendly environment.

Alpha is unique from other programs or ministries at St. Luke because Alpha is especially designed for those who would not consider themselves Christians or regular church-goers. 

Everyone's welcome, no matter their background.

Alyssa Tavarez & the St. Luke Alpha Team

St. Luke's utilizes the newly revised program, Symbolon: The Faith of the Church to form those preparing for the OCIA. 

If you are interested in becoming Catholic or would like to learn more about the Catholic Faith, you are invited to attend OCIA at St. Luke Catholic Church.

A Biblical Walk Through the Mass

The Mass is at the center of the Catholic Faith. We celebrate it every day. We know all the responses. We know all the gestures. But do we know what it all means?

This five-week class from Dr. Edward Sri and Ascension Press will be facilitated by Chris Lincoln, a convert to the Catholic Church who fell in love with the Mass when he realized its deep biblical roots.
