Theology on Tap at Holy Family “Hunger and Thirst for Justice”
In this four-part series, we will celebrate, empower, and foster community among Young Adults (ages 21-39) in the Church. For each installment of the program, we will partake in an engaging presentation and share a meal. All of which will be paired with a variety of beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic (including local craft beer) in our beautiful new outdoor pavilion.
If you are a student, this is for you. If you are a recent graduate, this is for you. If you are long-established in the workforce, this is for you. If you are single, married, or raising a family, this is for you. All young adults are welcome!
Please see below for the topics, featured speakers, and menus for each week. Registration is available for each individual session or for all four sessions. Walk-in registrations are welcome with payment by cash, check, or Venmo, but please register in advance (for our planning purposes) if you are able. The $15 registration fee includes dinner and 2 beverages from the bar. Register in advance for all four sessions for $50.
