Next Theology On Tap, Tuesday August 14th

This months topic of Canon Law will be presented by Fr. Aaron Kuhn. Canon law is the theology of the Church put into practice, i.e., how to run a diocese or how to run a parish. It covers the basic requirements of being a Catholic, as well as the extensive details of marriage law and annulments, and much, much more. This is sure to be an important and educational Theology On Tap.

Once again we are meeting at Granite City Food & Brewery starting at 7pm! We hope to see you all there. Remember to bring an appetite for food & fellowship. Bring a friend along with you too. Until then, take care & God bless.
