About RENEW Theology on Tap Events

RENEW Theology on Tap events are a great way for young adults to meet in a casual setting to hear an interesting speaker on a topic of faith, have lively conversation, and enjoy food and drink together. Local parishes offer these events so that young adults have the opportunity to experience a sense of community, have a great experience learning about their faith, and feel invited to take part in the ongoing life of the Church. Teams of Catholics aged 21 to 39 organize these events to reach out to their peers.
