Café Catholica: Connect Corner
During Café, all young adults are invited to stop by Connect Corner at the narthex of St. Michael Church. Connect Corner will be staffed by seminarians, campus ministers, and Café Team Members who are available to answer questions throughout the night. These could be practical questions (where is the bathroom?) or deeper questions (What is transubstantiation?). The folks waiting there would love to connect; hear about your journey of faith; share some insights with you on topics of theology, faith, and life; or lift you up in prayer.
