Theology on a Stick

Theology on a Stick was a great success! The Most Holy Father (the life-size stand-up edition) came to the event on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (August 27, 29, 30) and was greeted warmly by volunteers, priests, and fair-goers. The life size stand-up of the Pope helped lighten the atmosphere and made Theology on a Stick more approachable to fair-goers. You can see pictures of the event here. More event photos will be uploaded on the Catholic Aid website by September 8 at www.catholicaid.org/life.

Theology on a Stick? What is it?

Catholic Aid became an official sponsor of 'Theology on a Stick.' This is a really great event that is presented by the Cathedral Young Adults (CYA) of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. They have brought spirituality into the pubs through their successful “Theology on Tap” series. Now they’re bringing faith to the fair for five nights.

Dubbed “Theology on a Stick,” the evening event features an exciting mix of questions about God, the meaning of life, and how to enter fulfilling relationships. Each topic is followed by a question and answer session and the CYA’s traditional “grill the priest” open Q&A. All events take place at St. Bernard’s diner, The Bulldog Lodge, located just inside the Snelling Avenue entrance to the fairgrounds, at the southwest corner of Dan Patch and Cosgrove Avenues. CYA volunteers will be handing out “Theology on a Stick” souvenirs each of the days the evening event will be held which include Friday, Saturday and Wednesday nights of the fair from 7 to 11 p.m.
