Similar to Theology on Tap, a Lumen event is when we host a young adult or outside speaker, but also chant night prayer together (called “Compline”) with the Dominican Friars. This is followed by our social, when we share a refreshing pint of beer or non-alcoholic drink. The topic and speaker for this date will be released in the future (usually at least 2 weeks beforehand)

This week, join us for a panel featuring Catholics who’ve had LGBTQ+ experiences as they share their perspectives on navigating this topic within the Catholic faith. We will explore how to foster honest, compassionate conversations about the Church’s teaching on gender and sexuality while respecting human dignity.

Pre-Selected Questions: What is the official Catholic Church’s teaching on SSA/GD?

How has this experience impacted your faith journey?

If there’s someone in my life who I think experiences SSA and is struggling with Church teaching, how do I walk (and talk) with them in faith?

Would this be any different for someone who isn’t a Catholic?

Can I direct someone who I think would benefit from being in this group to you all?

The speaker begins at 7pm sharp (plan to arrive a bit early) and the pub social ends at 10pm.

*** If you plan to leave before 10PM, you MUST park at UW parking lot N5 (5 min walk away), or else your car will be double parked in.

RSVP is not required
