THEOLOGY ON TAP TONIGHT! Invite your friends!
When: 7:00 PM
Where: The former Hennessy's Pub (885 Jefferson St. Muskegon, MI 49440)
Topic: St. John Henry Newman - Cardinal, Theologian, and Newest Doctor of the Church
Speaker: Fr. Noah Thelen
Join us for Theology on Tap as we explore the life and lasting influence of St. John Henry Newman—cardinal, theologian, and Doctor of the Church. Newman’s insights into faith, reason, and the life of conscience continue to shape the Church and speak powerfully to our world today. Come learn why his thought remains as fresh and inspiring as ever, and how his vision of an intelligent, lived faith can guide us in following Christ with both heart and mind.
Fr. Noah Thelen is the pastor of St. Bartholomew Parish in Newaygo and St. Joseph Parish in White Cloud. He completed his Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL) with a focus on St. John Henry Newman, whose life and thought have long inspired his own life and ministry. Fr. Noah finds Newman an especially compelling figure for his honest grappling with faith and his lifelong search for truth. When news broke that Cardinal Newman would be named a Doctor of the Church, Fr. Noah couldn’t help but say, “It feels like Christmas morning!”
