Thousands of pilgrims are gathering in the Shrine of Fatima tonight to commemorate 109 years since the apparitions of Our Lady. This is how the shrine looks on the eve of her feast day, which is May 13th. In this place, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917.

What brought Martin to Alpha?

Curious, searching… and maybe not expecting what he found.

We start again on Thursday 30.4 at 18:30 in Good Shepherd Church.

Good Shepherd Sunday
“When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” John 10:4–5

St Mark wasn’t an apostle—but he stayed close, listened, and shared the truth simply.

His Gospel shows a very human Jesus.

Your mission doesn’t need perfection—just faithfulness.

“Go into the whole world…” (Mk 16:15)

Saint George reminds us that true courage is standing firm in your faith, even when it costs everything.
