Win. Build. Send. Part 2

AS ST. AL'S STUDENTS GROW CLOSER TO CHRIST and His community, their desire to learn more about the faith increases. Having won the opportunity to present the faith, we help build students up no matter where they are on their faith journey.

This framework of “Win-Build-Send” comes from the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, or FOCUS. For the past five years, St. Al’s has had a FOCUS team of recent college graduates, trained in outreach and mentoring, helping with the efforts at the parish.

Win means winning students over for Christ and providing them with an opportunity for encountering Him. Build refers to building the students up in the faith with prayer and catechesis. Send is equipping students to go win, build, and send others.

As you can see from the sidebar, we offer a variety of events designed to build students up in the faith. This means helping them learn and grow in many different ways whether in prayer or knowledge or relationship with other Catholics.

By offering these build events each week at St. Al’s, we continue to provide ways for the students to pray and learn more about the Catholic faith.
