Theology on Tap Chicago 2025

Written By Guest User

A Summer Series for Young Adults Seeking Faith, Friends & Real Conversations

Looking for meaningful community and real talk about faith this summer? Theology on Tap at Saint Clement Parish is a dynamic speaker series for young adults in Chicago (ages 20s–30s). Each week, join us for an evening of reflection, authentic conversation, and connection — with refreshments and community included. Whether you're curious about God or deepening your faith, you’ll find a place to belong here. All young adults are welcome, whether you’re Catholic or not — come as you are!

Each night kicks off with 6:00 PM Mass in the church (totally optional but always meaningful), followed by time to hang out, grab some refreshments, and meet new people. Then at 7:00 PM, we’ll settle in for the speaker. See our 2025 summer lineup below!

Celebrating a Summer Full of Faith, Community, and Goodness!
Recap of 2025 Theology on Tap - The Good God

Each summer, Saint Clement Parish transforms ordinary Tuesday nights into something extraordinary for young adults in their 20s and 30s. Theology on Tap is more than just a speaker series — it’s a space to bring your questions, your faith (or doubts), and your friends for an evening of conversation, connection, and maybe even a cold drink.

This year’s theme, “The Good God,” invited us to look for signs of God’s goodness in the middle of our messy, beautiful lives — in music and friendship, in acts of service and justice, and in the quiet moments where His peace meets our deepest needs. Over six summer evenings, we laughed, prayed, reflected, and discovered new ways to live out our faith with joy.

Thank you to all our amazing summer 2025 speakers!!!

This summer reminded us that faith is richer when we share it — not just in a church pew, but around a table, in laughter with friends, or out in the community lending a hand. Each Theology on Tap night gave us a new glimpse of God’s goodness and a reason to carry it into our daily lives.

We’re already praying and planning for next year’s series, and we hope you’ll be part of it. Bring your questions, bring a friend, and discover the joy of doing life — and faith — together.
