Campus Alpha: This semester, the JP2 Club will depart from offering CCO faith studies and instead will host a weekly night called ‘CAMPUS ALPHA’. Young adults of all faiths are welcome! You do not need to be Catholic to join us. Each Thursday, beginning January 29th, 2015 from 6-8PM (location to be determined), we will gather for a casual evening to discuss life, faith and God and all your big questions. Each night will kick off with a hearty dinner, followed by a video and a time to chat. To learn more about Alpha, please visit: http://www.alphacanada.org/
