The Alpha Course: The Quest for a Deeper Connection - Honi Lattouf

Eddie Reaiche sits down with Monsignor Shora and Honi Lattouf to explore the life-changing impact of the Alpha program. Rhey dive into how this eleven-week course has become a guiding light for those seeking faith development, a sense of belonging, and clarity amid life’s challenges.

Alpha creates space for honest conversations, offering a path to personal growth and spiritual renewal—especially for people feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of where they stand with God. For many, Alpha is more than a course—it’s a life reset, helping individuals rediscover purpose and build stronger relationships within their church and wider community.

Monsignor Shora and Honi reflect on Alpha’s growing success—describing it as a vital tool in reviving spiritual curiosity, encouraging re-engagement with faith, and strengthening parish communities. Whether someone is just curious about Christianity or looking to reconnect after years away from church, Alpha offers a gentle but powerful invitation: come as you are.

Key Takeaways:

• Belonging and Faith Exploration: The Alpha course offers a welcoming environment, encouraging people to explore spirituality and their personal faith journey.
• Holistic Personal Growth: Participants discover a newfound sense of purpose, better mental health outcomes, and enriched interpersonal relationships.
• Inclusive Community Building: Alpha brings together people of various ages and backgrounds, fostering inclusive and supportive community bonds.
• Practical Leadership Experience: Graduates of the course often become facilitators, demonstrating commitment to spreading the program's teachings and helping others grow.
• Comprehensive Support System: Providing an alternative support network, Alpha aids those struggling with challenges such as addiction, grief, and isolation.

Notable Quotes:

• Monsignor Shora: "Alpha is a great way for them…to have another support community…that replaces the group that was dragging them away from a better lifestyle."
• Honi Lattouf: "I've personally seen people become on fire and have a hunger for wanting to know more about faith."
• Eddie Reaiche: "There was that sense of belonging that actually gave them a purpose to explore their faith even further."
• Monsignor Shora: "It's given people a chance to go back, what would it have been like to first experience Jesus and the Christian message?"
• Honi Lattouf: "First you belong…then you learn about what to believe."

Transcript

0:00:04 - (A): Welcome to Finding Sanctuary. Our shared conversations into how we think and feel and how we find peace and comfort in daily life. We get together with experts to chat about all things mental health, getting insights and understanding on the struggles of life.

0:00:23 - (Eddie Reaiche): Welcome to another exciting episode of Finding Sanctuary. I wonder. I was thinking about this episode. Have you ever felt perhaps you. You think you've got everything, but then it's not everything that you need. Sometimes people may feel lost. Sometimes people may feel like they have a yearning for something they don't really understand. And sometimes, you know, people might feel like they're inadequate.

0:00:50 - (Eddie Reaiche): They feel that there's a part of themselves that they need to enhance or to improve. And you know what? I felt like that, and I think a lot of people feel like that this is probably a good opportunity for us to learn something for ourselves. And I'm learning something for myself today, and I'm hoping you guys can get a lot out of it, too. My guests today are advocates for a program called Alpha. So today we're going to venture into an area where a lot of people who feel the same come together to learn more about themselves and their faith.

0:01:31 - (Eddie Reaiche): And I'd like to introduce two people, one you know already, the esteemed Monsignor Shorer and Honey Latuf. Monsignor, can you give us some background into how you hired Honi and her role?

0:01:46 - (Monsignor Shora): Well, I've known Honi for a long time through my different work in different parishes. Actually, I think she was in the choir when I got ordained 38 years ago, so we go back a long way. And I blessed her marriage and baptised. Yeah. The children, so have a lovely relationship in that regard. And then when I moved to CTR parish, I needed someone in sort of the outreach role as well as helping us in a little bit of admin work for our planned giving.

0:02:16 - (Monsignor Shora): And so I got approval to employ Honey for. I think it was back then about part time. Yeah, part time, you know. Yeah.

0:02:25 - (Honi Lattouf): Started off as like 10 hours a week or something, I think.

0:02:27 - (Monsignor Shora): Yeah. And then on my second one of my annual leaves, second annual leaves, I was reading this book and part of what it was talking about was the Alpha course. So while I was still away and Honey was. I rang Honey and I said, listen, get this book and we're going to do this. And part of it was to run the Alpha course in the parish. Yes, Honey was working from that time over eight years ago, and I think we've had the Alpha course running for about seven and a half. Seven and a half years, yeah.

0:02:57 - (Eddie Reaiche): So Honey, I wonder if you can give us some background on the Alpha course and what it's about.

0:03:03 - (Honi Lattouf): Sure. The Alpha course is basically a course on Christianity. It's an 11 week course. So we come together, we have dinner, so dinner is provided for all of our guests. We have dinner together and then we watch a video that goes for about 25 minutes and then we break up into small groups and discuss the topic of the night. And so each topic progresses from the last one. There is also a retreat day that is part of the Alpha course, but generally it's just, it's mainly a course that helps to bring people together to discuss the topic of life and Faith.

0:03:42 - (Monsignor Shora): And it's 11 weeks.

0:03:43 - (Honi Lattouf): Yeah, yeah. We run it Monday nights and at the moment, this year we started running it Friday mornings for the mums that can't come on Monday nights or whoever can't come Monday nights. So we had Friday mornings and Monday nights.

0:03:58 - (Eddie Reaiche): How often do you run the courses?

0:03:59 - (Honi Lattouf): It's basically twice a year. Yeah.

0:04:02 - (Eddie Reaiche): What made you want to get really involved in Alpha? Why is it so important to our community?

0:04:08 - (Honi Lattouf): Well, Monsignor made me do it.

0:04:12 - (Eddie Reaiche): Thanks for answering that.

0:04:13 - (Honi Lattouf): No, Monsignor invited me to run the course and in true Monsignor style, just threw me in the deep end. But no, we did a crash course. We did it. We did a. We had one of the ladies who, from Melbourne, who actually she was in charge of Alpha in the Catholic context, come and give us a three day intensive, basically crash course. So we did the whole 11 weeks in three days, including the retreat day. So we had a pilot group. As soon as we did that, then we, we advertised in the parish and we asked for people to come along and. Yeah. And we started running it from there.

0:04:46 - (Honi Lattouf): Yeah. And we've seen beautiful fruits that have come from, from running in the last seven years and we keep refining it and we keep improving it and it's a wonderful invitational tool that we have. So it means encourage all of our parishioners to reach out to people outside of our parish and invite people to come along who wouldn't normally come to something like Alpha.

0:05:08 - (Eddie Reaiche): Honi, there's a burning question that I have. You said you see the fruits from what you do.

0:05:13 - (Honi Lattouf): Yes.

0:05:14 - (Eddie Reaiche): I really need to understand what that means.

0:05:17 - (Honi Lattouf): We see many lives transformed. And the other beautiful thing about Alpha is that it's open to all age groups. So if we have the numbers, we can run it for teens. So anyone from, in high school, a youth, Alpha youth, all the way to seniors, all come and participate. So that's a beautiful thing that it's inclusive of all ages and it doesn't matter what your background is. So we've had many people who've come from different cultures and different backgrounds, people of faith people have had no faith, people who've been exposed to Christianity, people who haven't.

0:05:54 - (Honi Lattouf): We've had parishioners that have come to church their whole lives, come and do alpha and still experience a really beautiful connection, you know, with God in a new way. And it actually, I've personally seen people become on fire and have a hunger for wanting to know more about faith. And it just unlocks this desire to know more and desire to be, I think, to just live life more fully is what I see. So we've had many couples that have come who was struggling in their marriages, and they've both come either at the same time or at separate times.

0:06:32 - (Honi Lattouf): And in doing the alpha course separately, so they don't. Even if they come together, they're going to. We separate them into small groups because. And even any family members that come together, we like to split them up because in doing so we find that they're more free to have their own discussions and sharing and share. And then the beauty of that is when they do come together, they've still got something to talk about on the way way home.

0:06:57 - (Honi Lattouf): And we've had people who, you know, had addictions who come and in sharing in the small groups, they're able to open up and it's a safe space for them to share their struggles. In time, they bond with their small group and people pray together. They pray for each other eventually, as the course continues on, and they just form these really beautiful friendships that are based on really opening up in a deep way that they wouldn't normally have the opportunity to do.

0:07:27 - (Honi Lattouf): You know, so I have seen many people who are struggling with anxiety, who struggle with addiction, who struggle with depression, or people who have even struggled with their faith, people who are lost and kind of don't really, like, know which. Which way to turn. And as I said, like the very first topic, is there more to life than this?

0:07:50 - (Eddie Reaiche): Oh, wow.

0:07:51 - (Honi Lattouf): And I think that's a burning question that many people have. You know, they get to a certain time in their lives and, you know, they. They feel disheartened, maybe, or they feel like they haven't reached their goals, or they feel like maybe life should have turned out differently for them and they start asking those questions, the bigger questions of life and faith. And so we found that when they come and do the course, because it unpacks it so slowly and over 11 weeks.

0:08:19 - (Honi Lattouf): It really just gives people time to think about the different topics and to just delve a bit deeper into it.

0:08:27 - (Eddie Reaiche): Monsignor, this is your baby. Alpha, you started it.

0:08:33 - (Monsignor Shora): What have you found in the Maronite church?

0:08:37 - (Eddie Reaiche): Yeah, sorry, sorry.

0:08:39 - (Monsignor Shora): And I do recall I first came across it nearly 30 years ago, if not earlier. You know, we were doing faith talk, but Bible study was the big thing. And I said, look, we don't have time for another Bible study. And I didn't really take a close look at it. A number of the Catholic churches were. But it's really taken off now because it's seen as one of the great outreach tools for people who've fallen away or for people who are in isolated situations.

0:09:07 - (Monsignor Shora): And I found it for me that coming across people who have been way off the track in their lives and they haven't got connection with anyone on the right side of the tracks. If I could say, Alpha is a great way for them. So often when people are struggling with addiction, a big part of it is the company they're in and also all the else have been a long way away from community. Alpha is a way to reconnect, have another support community to be connected to and to look forward to meet up with.

0:09:40 - (Monsignor Shora): That replaces the community that may be or the group that was dragging them away from a better lifestyle and a better way of living. People who've often come for spiritual guidance to me and for counselling and they've been away from church and community and it's sort of hard to just walk back into a church and you know, you've got tattoos here and there a little bit or things like that and you feel you're right out of place.

0:10:05 - (Monsignor Shora): Coming to Alpha, you feel in place. You know, they come and they're welcome to a meal and yeah, and everyone's talking to them and you know, there's a little bit of an icebreaker and then, you know, they're that meal together and they watch a very well produced video that opens those questions. No matter who you are, no matter what, you know, it's the question reaches into your heart and you've got, there's something there for you to share.

0:10:29 - (Monsignor Shora): And then you break up into a small group, confidential with a facilitator that allows you to share what you would like to share. There's no wrong or right answer at that stage. It's about you open, being able to open your heart and to be vulnerable and to be able to get that support and to grow in finding answers. So it's a great help for that. Whereas before, if you did have someone off the tracks, you know, and they'd say, oh, I went to the youth group and no one said hello to me or I didn't fit in, or I didn't think I fit in, or I went to church, no one spoke to me, I didn't fit in.

0:11:03 - (Monsignor Shora): Here is something that's less confronting and you don't feel like you're being judged and then it leads you then, then you know, some people you get to know make connection with people who then say to you, all right, look, what about coming to church with us? And then what about getting involved in something more along the way? Staying involved with the community and growing in those relationships that help them keep away from the addictive behavior and replace something more life giving for them.

0:11:32 - (Monsignor Shora): I found that it's been a big tool in that regard. And also people that have suffered grief and loss, people that are widows, you know, and their children are married and they've got, yeah, they go to church, but then there's nothing much. This is a place where they start to connect with others and even to share their wisdom, share their suffering and open. And then others that may be a bit younger in the group hear from them, really inspired for them, and then it offers them, they can find a purpose because once they've done an Alpha course, they're invited if they would like to be a helper in the next one so they can keep doing it once you've done one. You know, I think I've done it, I've done it three times and each time I've done it, I've got something more out of it.

0:12:16 - (Monsignor Shora): So even those that have done it once come back and do it again and they're offered, they can be a helper, they can be someone helps with the hospitality, with the meal, and then that gives them a purpose. They could have it can. And then they can, next time they do it, they can be a co host, honey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They actually can actually take on a part in being welcoming and helping others with it. So it's a great tool in that.

0:12:40 - (Eddie Reaiche): Regard for a little bit of disclosure. I come from a clinical perspective in my practice, so I have boundaries when it comes to certain points of spirituality. It's not my expertise, but I've had a couple of clients who were really struggling with their spirituality and they had a lot of challenges in their life. And my recommendation was to go to Alpha because I heard about it was really Quite sure. And was kind of hoping it would suit them down on the ground.

0:13:07 - (Eddie Reaiche): But I think for a little bit of feedback to let you know that when those guys came back, they were so appreciative because they got so much out of it. And what it did for them was wanting to learn more about their faith. And so the positive impact that had on them just showed that there was that sense of belonging. It was run, it was structured appropriately, and people found it so easy to go there. It actually gave them a purpose to go there and actually explore their faith even further.

0:13:39 - (Eddie Reaiche): And they enjoyed it and they were so excited about the next session and the next session, Next session. So I just thought I'd let you.

0:13:45 - (Honi Lattouf): Know that, yeah, I think it's different to anything else in the church. In most other Bible studies or even going to Mass, there's a certain knowledge or experience or kind of have to know what's happening. To go to Mass, you have to be familiar, like, with what's being said or, you know, and to participate, you have to know what to do. Even a Bible study, you have just someone just speaking at you.

0:14:09 - (Honi Lattouf): You don't really have the opportunity to share what your questions are. And in Alpha, there is no question that's too silly. There's no question that is off the. The cards. You know, the only thing we ask is that people remain respectful of each other. We've had a couple of Muslims come and do Alpha. Yeah, We've had a couple of conversions. We've. Yeah. So it's really interesting because as Monsignor said, in the small groups, you do have different age groups.

0:14:36 - (Honi Lattouf): Often people go through life and feel like they're the only one that are experiencing what they're experiencing. And then they come into a small group and then they hear someone else has been through something similar or even more, and then they're hearing how they dealt with it. And so they're actually getting this beautiful wisdom from other age groups. And for the older ones, like myself, who hear from the youth, you know, I get insight into what the youth are experiencing. I get insight into their world, you know, and what they're sharing.

0:15:05 - (Honi Lattouf): And then with the teens, when we have the teens, it's beautiful too, because these young ones are in high school, especially this day and age, so much is being thrown at them, and they really don't know what to believe or which way to turn. And so if they have something like this and they come together with a group of people who are similar in their age groups and experiencing the similar things and they can learn together and then their connection is amazing and their friendships continue.

0:15:34 - (Honi Lattouf): Then they have a space where they can come back and hear truth. They can come back and feel safe to explore faith and feel safe to share what they're going through. So there's very limited places, apart from maybe in a clinical setting where young people feel comfortable to come and share these kinds of things. Whereas in this place we can create this safe space for them to come and have these conversations, make friendships.

0:15:58 - (Honi Lattouf): And then as Mon said, even after Alpha's finished, they can continue to go to redeemed or they can go to other social things that keep them connected and give them that opportunity to come together in different social settings too.

0:16:10 - (Monsignor Shora): Yeah, Eddie, I actually heard a rehab center that took people on for long term rehab, like for six months, that they actually ran an Alpha course. And I was really, when I heard that, it clicked to me. I thought, wow, yeah, that I could see how it would work. And that wasn't forced on them. It was offered as you know, because it does have that Christian base. It's like for more faith based listeners who hear that, it's like how people would have first encountered. Jesus said he used to eat, he'd eat with sinners.

0:16:44 - (Monsignor Shora): They used to criticise him. The other religious, he eats with sinners and tax collectors. So he'd have a meal with them and obviously he's not just there for the food. He would then Jesus always used to ask a question and then they would share around the table. He would listen and share. So in a way it was meeting people where they were at and that's what Alpha does. It meets people where they're at and, and helps them to connect more with each other and connect more with their faith and spirituality. That is a great help in helping them when they got any mental health challenges, when they've got life challenges and gives them that great support, not only in the session, but they often then meet up or talk up during the week at a time.

0:17:27 - (Monsignor Shora): I'm surprised when sometimes someone I've recommended to do it, you know, because they are very isolated, they're facing challenges alone. And I've said, oh, you know, making a time for them to come have a time with me. Oh, I can't come. I'm actually meeting some of the Alpha group, they're taking me out for dinner, you know, like, and say, wow, that's great. And they're only five or six weeks into the course and already there's this bond of support that they're finding.

0:17:52 - (Eddie Reaiche): It's Interesting when I hear this because there's an overwhelming theme of a sense of belonging that I hear in this. I was reading some research today and it was talking about prayer, mental health. And the greatest advantages of prayer leading to a positive impact on mental health is when it's in a social context. So people in groups who pray together actually have a better success rate and a better positive outcome when it comes to mental health than people praying alone.

0:18:25 - (Eddie Reaiche): So being part of a group, that sense of belonging, and that's what I'm hearing over and over again, seems to have such great impact on these people who have got so many challenges in their life and are looking for answers that they can't get from just a clinical environment, but they find it in a spiritual realm.

0:18:44 - (Honi Lattouf): Yeah. It used to be said that to come to church, you had to behave a certain way, believe certain things, and then you belong. Whereas when they introducing something like Alpha, you flip it. So first you belong.

0:19:00 - (Monsignor Shora): We give them a sense you belong.

0:19:01 - (Honi Lattouf): You have this strong sense of belonging. No matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what you believe, you belong. Yeah, we're welcomed into this community. Yeah. And then you learn about what to believe.

0:19:13 - (Monsignor Shora): Yeah.

0:19:13 - (Honi Lattouf): So you learn the evidence to faith, you learn all about who Jesus is, you learn about Christianity, etc. So you have the opportunity to learn and believe, and then you behave, your behavior then changes.

0:19:26 - (Eddie Reaiche): Yeah.

0:19:26 - (Honi Lattouf): So, like, I think that's. That's the beauty of it, is there's that sense of belonging first. So Maybe people who 20, 30 years ago maybe didn't have the best experience of going to church, maybe they felt judged or maybe they felt like they didn't wear the right thing or didn't, you know, didn't have that sense of belonging. Kind of gives them another opportunity to come into a different kind of setting where you've just got some music playing in the background, you're having dinner together, and it's very social and it is a very welcoming environment.

0:19:57 - (Honi Lattouf): And we place a lot of emphasis on making sure that people feel welcome and that no one's excluded. That makes a big difference.

0:20:04 - (Eddie Reaiche): I've got a hairy question for you. Do you teach them how to pray?

0:20:09 - (Honi Lattouf): Not specifically, no. The topic of prayer comes up in week five. So there is, how do I pray? Why? And how should I pray?

0:20:19 - (Eddie Reaiche): Nice.

0:20:20 - (Honi Lattouf): So the topic is discussed as part of the Alpha course, but it's not like you have to do this set way of praying. No, not specifically, no.

0:20:29 - (Eddie Reaiche): It's not so much a set way of praying. It's people who need to be mindful when they pray because that has such a positive impact on mental health, as long as they're mindful while they're praying, rather than just saying word after word after word.

0:20:43 - (Monsignor Shora): Ah, yes.

0:20:44 - (Eddie Reaiche): They need to be mindful to help them reach that stage.

0:20:47 - (Honi Lattouf): Oh, yeah. So, for example, at week five, we start praying together as a small group. So we ask everyone in the small group if they have a special intention that they'd like us to pray for. And then we just do a very simple prayer, you know, including everyone's intentions together, and we encourage everyone to just pray for each other as well as the weeks go on during the week and so they learn different ways of praying.

0:21:13 - (Honi Lattouf): We also include songs from week four onwards at the beginning of each series. And so obviously singing is another form of prayer and people love to sing, are very moved by music. So that's also a form of prayer that's introduced.

0:21:28 - (Monsignor Shora): So how structured is there be there's the coordinator of the host, would you say? Yes. And then there's facilitators. So when they break up into groups, there's trained facilitators who've done the Alpha course a number of times and go through. That's why part of Honi's role, she trains the facilitators how to be good listeners, how to help others and then to be able to lead in that way. And then there's a helper in the group, observes and sees and then eventually they'll be trained to be a facilitator in the future.

0:21:58 - (Monsignor Shora): So it's in that way training. It's those who've done Alpha become then the leaders of Alpha. That's how we draw the leaders.

0:22:06 - (Honi Lattouf): Yeah. And I guess the other part is that there is a retreat day. So the retreat day is focused on learning who the Holy Spirit is. And so obviously there's a lot more emphasis on how the Holy Spirit can help us, who the Holy Spirit is and how we pray with the Holy Spirit. So yeah, there is a definite emphasis on prayer at the retreat day as well. It's definitely part of what we do. And people learn. People learn why to read how and why they should read the Bible, for example.

0:22:35 - (Honi Lattouf): So the topics are very much around reading the Bible and prayer and how to improve. But how to personally experience prayer in your own way too.

0:22:48 - (Eddie Reaiche): Yeah, I think that's really important. And also the fact that people want to become leaders and do the course, the ongoing courses is real testament to what they get out of it. So there's no better example than someone who wants to spread the word. Someone who's learned enough to be able to disseminate that information and talk to other people and enrich their lives because they've been enriched.

0:23:12 - (Monsignor Shora): And I think that's a great example, gives them purpose. I remember one chap, you know, like really going through a difficult time in his life away from, away from God, away from his family and that seem involved and see him lead and see him being pushing and wanting to help with the next group. And yeah, you see that enthusiasm after they've been touched by it, you know, the experience of it and then wanting to, you know, facilitate it for others. It's been good to see that.

0:23:41 - (Monsignor Shora): And it is just for those as a real faith based listeners, Catholic listeners, it's not catechesis or it's not for formation. It's the beginning. It's like it's given people a chance to go back. What would it have been like to first experience Jesus and the Christian message of gospel? What was the. And the first experience would have been around a meal of people, wasn't in big churches. Cause they didn't have big churches and it wasn't the Eucharist yet because they didn't have the Eucharist.

0:24:09 - (Monsignor Shora): It wasn't about saints because it was this, just this beginning experience of being, finding a connection to God and a connection with others that became their community.

0:24:20 - (Eddie Reaiche): Thanks so much both of you for coming on today. It's been really exhilarating and really interesting to hear you both talk about something you're both so passionate about. Honi, do you have any last words?

0:24:30 - (Honi Lattouf): Yeah, thanks Eddie. I'd really like to encourage people who are already strong in their faith to come and give Alpha a try. Because once you experience Alpha, then you're able to know what it is instead of maybe thinking about the different perceptions that it might be. And then be able to go and invite others who are really needing something like Alpha to come and experience it for themselves who would otherwise not have the opportunity to do it.

0:24:55 - (Honi Lattouf): So that's probably the thing that I would like to encourage people to come and do.

0:24:59 - (Eddie Reaiche): So I guess a lot of our friends or relatives who we feel are lost and have no real guidance where they're going. Someone who doesn't have meaning or purpose may be coming over to Alpha just to find a little bit more about themselves and about spirituality.

0:25:14 - (Monsignor Shora): Yeah.

0:25:14 - (Honi Lattouf): And like try it for a few weeks and if you don't like it, fine, but you know, just give it a go and you might actually enjoy it. So yeah, just come and give it a try.

0:25:24 - (Eddie Reaiche): Thanks, honey. Monsignor, any last words?

0:25:26 - (Monsignor Shora): Yeah, look, I would agree with honey there. I've a number of people that have done it, you know, who were very knowledgeable in their faith and very faithful going to church every Sunday. And one of them said something I found great is now when I go to church on Sunday, I can say hello to people that I know, whereas before I was going and I didn't know anyone. For him and his family, it meant they connected, they got to connect with others. And I saw that difference for him and I didn't realize the impact on him and I knew there were some issues he was going through and he found that, you know, there's people that it's not only going just to worship God, to church, you know, to them, but also to its building up the community.

0:26:05 - (Monsignor Shora): So it helped him to have more relationships with people coming to church and connecting with them.

0:26:12 - (Eddie Reaiche): Yeah, so this is great. Alpha seems so important because it not only builds a sense of belonging, but a sense of community as well.
