Confirmation Preparation / Alpha

CONFIRMATION PREPARATION

Confirmation Preparation continues after half term for young people in Year 8 and above who would like receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in summer 2026, or just want a chance to have real and open conversations about life, faith and purpose. Sessions are weekly and include food and fun, also a short film and discussion in small groups.

PARENTS and other adults are also invited to come to the sessions, if they are able, for discussion in their own Alpha small groups.

Choose from either Tuesday (at Delancey) or Wednesday (at St Joseph’s) from 6:30pm–8:30pm or Thursday lunchtime at Blanchelande College.

Come and see – there’s no pressure and no commitment for the first few weeks. Watch the trailer at Alpha.org/youth.

Session 3: What does real love look like?

Tue 4th March @ Delancey or Wed 5th March @ St Joseph’s or Thurs 6th March @ Blanchelande College

ALPHA

Curious about faith? Join a series of group conversions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. At each Alpha session, you’ll be hosted in a small group and watch an episode on a different question of faith then you have a chance to share your thoughts and hear what others think. You can say anything you like, or nothing at all.

Everyone’s welcome. You’re invited, no matter your background or beliefs. It’s free and there’s no pressure to come back.

Continues Tue 4th Mar @ Delancey or Wed 5th March @ St Joseph’s both 6:30pm–8:30pm (you’re invited even if you missed the first two weeks)
