Theology on Tap

In anticipation of Pope Francis's visit to the U.S. in September, the Archdiocese of New York organized a Theology on Tap (TOTNYC) event with Archbishop Auza, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, and a member of the organizing committee for Pope Francis's visits. The event took place on Monday, August 31, at Connolly's Pub and Restaurant on West 45th Street in New York and the topic of the discussion was "Preparing Well for Pope Francis's Visit."

Prepare your hearts for the visit of our Holy Father!
