Alpha Corps Puppets

This puppet team are members of the Salvation Army in Guelph.  The team currently features  24 puppets who are eager to spread the word of God to both young and old through a variety of musical messages.  The best thing about the Alpha Corps Puppets is that they don’t just deliver a great message to the children, they also cater to adults.  You won’t want to miss the puppets in action!  For more information, please contact Connie Reilly or the office.
