Alpha is an 11-week program that creates a space for honest and open discussions about faith and life’s biggest questions. It consists of weekly gatherings that begin by sharing a delicious and nourishing meal followed by a short film exploring life’s biggest issues through the Christian faith. The first session will begin on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 6:15PM in the lower level of the church. Following sessions will be held in Fr. Greenan Center.

Please join us in praying this Novena from July 16th – July 24th for the success of our Revival and that attendees be open to receive the all the gifts the Holy Spirit has for them.

JPII Novena to Holy Spirit

The parishes of St. Pius X, St. Mary’s/St. James Chapel and St.Francis of Assisi/St. Romuald Chapel are hosting a three-night Tent Revival, “Living in the Spirit”. In 1959 Pope St. John XXIII is quoted, “Throw open the windows of the church and let the fresh air of the spirit blow through.” We believe God is calling for us to renew Pope St. John’s wishes and help keep the Holy Spirit flowing through the windows of the church and the windows of our hearts. Come join us July 24th, 25th and 26th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at St. James Chapel, 2079 Matunuck School House Road, Charlestown RI. Each night will begin with praise and worship music led by Christian artist Jon Polce, followed by teaching/witness talks on opening ourselves to allow the Spirit of God to live within us. The third night concludes with speaker and Evangelist, Walter Burke JR., of the “Burke Family Singers” fame, as he prepares us all with a deeper understanding of how to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
