One of the beautiful aspects of an Alpha retreat is that it unfolds as a journey. Rather than following a detailed minute-by-minute agenda, we invite you to simply arrive with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to participate. Throughout the weekend, our retreat team will guide you through a variety of engaging activities, meaningful conversations, personal reflection, and shared experiences—all thoughtfully designed to help you explore your relationship with yourself, with others, and with God. No special preparation is required, and you do not need to be Catholic to participate. Whether you're full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, you are warmly welcome.

The retreat begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday with a full and enriching day that extends into the evening. We encourage you to come well-rested and to enjoy breakfast before arriving. Lunch, dinner, snacks, and refreshments will be provided throughout the day. You'll return home Saturday evening before joining us again Sunday morning, when breakfast will be provided for you. Sunday's program continues with more opportunities for connection, reflection, and discovery, along with lunch and snacks, before concluding with Mass on Sunday afternoon. Following Mass, you'll be free to head home and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

While we intentionally keep many details of the schedule a surprise, we can promise this: you'll laugh, you'll reflect, you'll connect with others in meaningful ways, and you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for yourself, the people around you, and God's presence in your life. Come as you are—we'll take care of the rest.
