St Emilie de Vialar Catholic Church

We have been running Alpha twice a year at St Emilie’s since Oct 2023. I find that the team have grown through each of the series. Our prayer lives have deepened; our relationships have grown, and the team is willing and generous with their time and resources. Those who have attended have testified to the love within the group, many have said that they now have a Christian family, and they feel part of the church. We have seen more people come and volunteer and every Ministry in the church has seen a growth and new life.

Many have stated they grew deeper in their faith and they have hope. One man stated he was blind but now he sees. Another stated he attended church for the last 16 years but left immediately after mass. But from the time he did Alpha 2 years ago, he has got to know more people than he had in the past. Entire families are being changed – we have concurrent youth Alpha series running and so the entire family can attend. The shift has changed, now those who attend want to spread the good news and spread Alpha to other churches in Perth. God has filled our hearts and continues to build us. Praise his Holy name.
