The local council of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men's service organization affiliated with St. Mary's Church, will be sponsoring The Alpha Course at the Deering/Hillsborough Middle School from 6 to 8 p.m. starting Wednesday, March 9. The course includes a meal, a video presentation, and small group discussions. This weekly event will explore the meaning of life, and explore how the Christian faith addresses the deepest of life's questions. The course, which is offered all over the world, provides participants, adults 18 and over, a chance to form friendships with members of the local community. There are no obligations, and no cost to participants. There are no requests for financial support of any kind. To register, email parish.office@tds.net or call 603-428-3325.
