'Theology in the County' in Caribou

The popular "Theology in the County" series has returned to the Par & Grill Restaurant on 6 Carroll Street in Caribou, next on Tuesday, June 28, at 6:30 p.m. The series provides an opportunity for fellowship in a casual setting where adults (18+) gather for challenging and relevant presentations on the Catholic faith and how it applies to daily life.

"It gives adults the opportunity to network with one another and be part of the larger Catholic community that extends beyond their parish setting. Everyone who attends has really enjoyed it," said Theresa Bonner of the Parish of the Precious Blood in Caribou. "The conversation flows, and the faith is just woven into it."

Each session begins with a social followed by a presentation given by a guest speaker and time for an informal discussion as well as questions and answers.

Bonner says she thinks people sometimes hesitate to participate in faith-sharing groups held in churches fearing they may need to know more than they do, even though that is not the case. She says what makes "Theology in the County" work is its low-key approach.

"Going and have a beverage of your choice and sharing a meal with somebody and just having a conversation can be a lot less threatening than saying, 'Hey, come to a faith-sharing group,'" said Bonner. "It's just a way to break down the barriers, so faith isn't so scary. It's interesting. It's fun."

All are encouraged to attend. For more information, contact Theresa Bonner at [email protected].
