Second Friday of the month · 6pm
Faith, a good
drink, and an
honest question
Catholicism on Tap brings the truth, universal goodness, and beauty of our faith to local people in a relaxed, informal setting. Snacks, wine and beer, a dynamic Catholic speaker, and room to ask what you actually want to ask.
People of all ages and religious backgrounds are welcome.

The divine and the human, same table
A tenet of Catholicism on Tap is to bring together the divine and the human. We pair snacks, wine and beer with dynamic Catholic speakers on the second Friday of the month at 6pm in the Queen of the Apostles Parish Hall.
Come as you are. Bring a neighbor, bring your doubts, bring your kids — childcare runs alongside the talk. Nobody takes attendance and nobody is put on the spot.

Evenings like this run on volunteers
Nobody on this is paid. The tables get set, the bar gets poured and the childcare room gets staffed because people show up early. It's about two hours, a few times a year, and most volunteers still catch the whole talk.
