MADISON -- Young adults in the Diocese of Madison are invited to attend Theology-On-Tap, a four-week speaker series designed to address the needs and concerns of those in their 20s and 30s.

Theology-On-Tap was started by Fr. John Cusick in the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1980. This is the first time it will be offered in the Diocese of Madison.

Sponsored by St. Raphael Cathedral Parish and the Diocese of Madison, each session of the series starts at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, beginning Sept. 19, at St. Raphael Cathedral, 222 W. Main St.

"Theology-on-Tap has been underway for many years now in some of our neighboring dioceses and has proven effective in attracting the 20- and 30-year-old Catholics," said Msgr. Dan Ganshert, rector at St. Raphael Cathedral.
