The course starts in January for young people in Year 8 and above who would like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in summer 2026, or just want to explore more about their faith. We start with Alpha Youth, a newly filmed series which explores life, faith and meaning.

Each episode looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. It’s for anyone who has questions. Sessions are weekly and include food, fun, a short film and discussion in small groups.
