January 19, 2020 Got questions? Try Alpha! Food, talk, and good conversation about life’s big questions Why am I here? Where am I heading? Is there more to life than this?
These are some of humanity’s biggest questions – and ones the Christian faith proposes some reasonable answers to. Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith (Why did Jesus have to die? How can we have faith?) and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the world – and everyone is welcome.
“Alpha” is the first letter of the Greek alphabet—it marks the beginning, the start. This program is a great start covering the basics of our faith in God.
We’ll be running 10 evening sessions here at Santa Maria through the seasons of Lent and Easter, each of which includes a delicious dinner, an engaging video on a new topic, and honest discussion – the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic as a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything, and nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
Next weekend we’ll be presenting a video at all the Masses with more information on Alpha.
The adventure begins this Lent.

Haiti on the Rise: Benefitting Education in Haiti You are invited to Haiti on the Rise’s 5th annual fundraising dinner and auction benefitting education in Haiti.
Your support will help with their current project, La Grotte High School, in a desperately underserved area. Building this school means some children will no longer have to travel 5 miles to school.
Getting a High School education will vastly improve these children’s prospects for the future, while lifting up their families as well.

We’re updating the Food Donations schedule! In the past, donations in the food bins in the narthex have been split up weekly between St. Peter Martyr and St. Cornelius. To simplify things for our donors and our volunteers Rose Wilson and Mary McCosker, each collection will now be for an entire month!
January donations will be taken to St. Cornelius, February will be St. Peter Martyr, and the two will continue to trade off throughout the rest of the year.
Thank you for continuing to support these collections!
