Mags GarganCafé Theology starts up again in Waterford next week after the summer break to discuss ‘Can we get our Young People Back to the Church?’.
Based on the ‘Theology on Tap’ programme popular in the US where faith discussions are held in bars, Bishop Phonsie Cullinan launched Café Theology in May this year as one of his first initiatives since being ordained bishop.
Tony Foy and his Net Ministries Team will present a talk followed by a debate in the Granville Hotel (Tapestry Room) at 7.30pm on Tuesday, October 27.
NET stands for National Evangelisation Teams and the group consists of Catholic missionaries who share Jesus' Gospel message with young people in a team format. NET Ireland recruits and trains teams to evangelise to over 20,000 youth every year in churches, schools, parishes, and dioceses across Ireland.
“Our churches are not as full as we would like them to be,” said Bishop Phonsie, “vibrant young people who want to share their faith are stepping out and volunteering to share the gospel message with us.”
Café Theology is open to all and there is no admission charge, but donations for the coffee/tea and event expenses are welcome.
