For Young Adults
Faith is a journey that continues throughout our entire lives, and the years of young adulthood are no different. We encounter the world in a new light, independent, and searching for answers and a place to belong. St. Edward’s offers a community for young adults (18-39) who are seeking to grow in faith and community with other Catholic young adults. We have partnered with two other local young adults groups and meet every Thursday evening. Please contact Johnny Oskam via email below to learn more and to join us!
ALPHA
ALPHA SESSIONS
Connection All sessions start with a time of connection - over a meal to relax and build friendships
Content The ALPHA talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like "Who is Jesus", "Why and how do I pray?", and "How does God guide us?"
Conversation One of the most important parts of any ALPHA is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic in a small group format. Guests hear from others and have an opportunity to contribute/share in a judgement free environment.
Enrollment for Alpha begins each September and concludes during Easter.

Para los adolescentes
El RICA, que significa Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos, es un proceso a través del cual hombres y mujeres no bautizados ingresan a la Iglesia Católica. Incluye varias etapas marcadas por el estudio, la oración y los ritos en la Misa, después de los cuales los candidatos entran en plena comunión con la iglesia a través de los sacramentos.
RICA está abierto a cualquier adulto que esté interesado en aprender más sobre la fe católica.
