Theology on Tap in Quincy, MA

Tonight's Theology on Tap at Bad Abbots in Quincy, MA was riveting. The speaker was Fr. Bob Reed, Director of Boston Catholic TV speaking on the subject "Communicating in a Struggling Church." I highly enjoyed his monologue about how we as Catholics are responsible for bringing the message of the Church into the world. He highlighted how Catholic Television is moving into the forefront expanding there programming and now being offered as a 24-7 outlet on Comcast Cable (as of April 9th, 2008).

I was excited to hear him speak having seen the great work he has been doing for the Archdiocese of Boston, but more importantly being a man in the field of Communications. I found his genuine enthusiasm to be refreshing in this age of cynicism.

After the talk, he answered some questions and moved back to the enjoyable evening amongst Catholic friends. I was able to have a few great conversations with Father M. on getting more involved with the parish and more directly involved with helping expand the youth and young adult ministries. I look forward to speaking more with Father M. on these subjects. TL was there as always, and I was able to have a great conversation with him on some ideas of expanding the programs to include young adults into the Catholic Church. I am very excited about the Boston Eucharistic Congress 2008 that will take place this Friday and Saturday.

I will post more on the next Theology on Tap at Bad Abbots in Quincy, MA which is on April 16 later.
