Theology on Tap is a free summer speaker series for young adults in their 20s and 30s, married and single. Talks occur in a casual environment with time for socializing, learning and sharing.

Our parish will be opening up its doors for this lecture series, packed with great speakers, food, beer, and other twenty- and thirty-somethings. It is a great way to spend your Monday nights.

Other local parishes are also hosting Theology on Tap series. Participants from all these series are invited to a special Mass and Party on Sunday, Aug. 7th, which will bring the 31st summer of Theology-on-Tap to a close. Note that a free ticket is required only for this final event, and tickets are available at all Theology-on-Tap sites.
