The Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry sponsors monthly, regional evenings of Wine and Wisdom for young adults. At each Wine and Wisdom, an engaging local speaker talks about relevant issues of faith and life. Young adults have the opportunity to participate in discussions and form community in these fun settings.
Dates for the spring 2012 Wine and Wisdom series!
Wine and Wisdom evenings are an opportunity to meet other young adults in a comfortable setting, enjoy good food and beverages, and explore a variety of faith topics. Each week a speaker presents on a theme with particular relevance to young adults, then invites discussion and questions.
In 2012, the Archdiocese will coordinate four Wine and Wisdom series – “Relationships,” “Evangelization,” “Living Our Faith Daily,” and “Addressing the World through the Lens of Our Catholic Faith” – hosted during the winter, spring, summer and fall seasons, respectively. Each series will consist of 4-6 consecutive weeks, with topics related to season’s theme.
The spring 2012 series, “Evangelization,” will kick-off on Wednesday, April 11th, and continue for five weeks every Wednesday evening from 7:15 – 9:15 p.m. at Kell’s Irish Restaurant and Pub in Post Alley at Pike Place (http://www.kellsirish.com/seattle/index.php). Please join us before the discussion each week for the 6:30 p.m. daily mass at Christ Our Hope Church downtown, on the corner of Stewart and 2nd.
