Theology On Tap Returns To South Suburbs July 12

Theology-on-Tap, a weekly speaker and conversation series designed for people in their 20s and 30s, kicks off Sunday, July 12 and ends Saturday, August 8.

This successful evangelization and catechesis program continues to provide the opportunity for young adults in their 20s and 30s, both married and single, to learn more about the Catholic faith, make connections between faith and everyday life and enter into discussions with their peers.

The series will be hosted at two convenient south suburban locations, including:

• St. Bernadette Church, 9343 S. Francisco Ave., Evergreen Park
• Our Lady of Grace Parish, 3025 Highway Ave., Highland, IN

This four-week, summer series offered in the evenings, includes a speaker, conversation and discussion, and provides parishes and Catholic student centers in the Archdiocese the opportunity to talk

together about faith-based topics and spend time sharing insights with one another.

A variety of topics will be offered including discussions on scripture, church history, faith traditions, liturgy, sacraments, spirituality, social justice, prayer, relationships, ecumenism, inter-faith dialogue, meaningful work and bringing Christ into the world.

The series concludes at 3 p.m. Saturday, August 8 with Archbishop Blase J. Cupich as the featured speaker at Holy Name Cathedral Courtyard, State and Superior Streets in Chicago. The Archbishop will

address the questions and concerns of young adults today from the Archdiocese of Chicago. Food and beverages will be provided free of cost. This will be followed by Mass at 5:15 p.m. The evening will conclude with, “Nightfever: Conquering the Night,” at Holy Name Cathedral.

Since it began in 1981 with a single hosting site in the Archdiocese of Chicago, Theology on Tap has spread to more than 180 parishes and dioceses and at least six other countries, including Canada, Italy,

Taiwan, the Philippines, Ireland, Australia and Hong Kong.

St. Bernadette in Evergreen Park and Our Lady of Grace in Highland, IN, are all within a 35-minute drive or less from the south suburbs.

Twenty-five parishes and student centers throughout the Chicago area offering the series.
