Hello! After a GREAT turnout for our recent gathering at Dodiyos (cool place, great food, and they took really good care of our group!), ToT is ready to move along to our December gathering. Which won't take very long, as this time we're going just down the sidewalk to Jackson's Bar & Bistro in Homewood's Soho Square. They have some great Tuesday half-price specials, and what better Tuesday than December 14 at 6:00!! This'll be a great way to relax in the middle of the holiday craziness.
We hope to see you there! And we sincerely hope you and your family and friends have a truly blessed and wonderful advent and Christmas season!

ToT gathering on 11/11
Hello!
After a couple of very fun gatherings at a cool Italian-ish spot and one of our all-american sports bars, ToT is going to continue with an outing to a pretty unique location...we're going Mediterranean as we try Dodiyos in Homewood's Soho Square. They have some cool after-work specials and neat food selections. We'll meet around 5:30 on Thursday, November 11.
In the mean time...please don't forget the upcoming Angel Tree at OLV. We won't be doing a ToT group project for that this year, but we definitely encourage everyone (families and individuals!) to participate in that wonderful project.
And also, don't forget OLV's "Tuning Up with Catholic Basics" series Tuesday nights at 7:00. It's in full swing and continues through December 7.
Thank you! Hope to see you soon!!

It's Theology on Tap time!!
Happy fall! OLV's Theology on Tap is finally ready to roll!
We're back, and with a new look! This fall, we'll be combining young adult social gatherings along with opportunities for
community outreach.
Our first gathering will be at Mafiaoza's Pizzeria (2 Dexter Ave, Birmingham) on Tuesday September 28 (next Tuesday!) at 6:00 PM. We will simply
enjoy each other's company along with their "Two For One Tuesday" special! Rumor is they have excellent pizza...we can hardly wait!
Also, OLV has a "Tuning Up with Catholic Basics" series beginning Tuesday nights from September 28 through December 7, 7-8:30 PM.
They will be counting down the basic teachings of the Church: 10 Commandments, 9 days of a novena, 8 beatitudes, etc. Childcare
will be provided. BYOB&B (Bring your own Bibles and beer). Peggy DeBlanc-Vogt and Sister Madeline will be alternate facilitators.
See the bulletin for more details. (Sister let us know that if you make the Mafiaoza's outing on 9/28, you're still welcome to
attend other "Tuning Up" sessions, as you can get something out of any individual session you are able to attend!)
Also ALSO, the Young Adults of the Diocese group's TGIFF series continues on Friday, October 1 at 6:30 at Our Lady of Sorrows.
Father Rick (yes, THAT Father Rick!) will say Mass, and Deacon Vincent Bresowar will be speaking on confession. Contact Susan

Diocese Young Adult Ministry Presents:
TGIFF (Thank God It's First Friday)
TGIFF will take place Friday, August 6th from 6-9:30 at the Cathedral of St. Paul. We will begin with Mass in the Cathedral, followed by a short informative talk by Fr. Kevin Bazzel regarding the history and importance of the First Friday devotion, as well as celebrating the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ, which coincides with this event. The talk, dinner, and social will take place in the parish hall following Mass.
If you plan to attend, please email me or RSVP on our facebook group, Young Catholic Adults of Birmingham, so we make sure to have enough food! In honor of the traditional Catholic custom of fasting on all Fridays of the year, we will be serving a vegetarian meal consisting of sautéed vegetables, beans, rice, salsa, lettuce, cheese, and all other taco bar type fixings! We will also have homemade churros for dessert! To cover the cost of the meal, we ask that you please bring 7 dollars.
Childcare will be provided for this event!

ToT meeting Tuesday 4/20
Good afternoon everyone! Our Lives of the Saints series continues this coming Tuesday, April 20 with a discussion of St. Therese of Lisieux. Known as the "Little Flower of Jesus," Saint Therese became a nun at 15 and died of tuberculosis at 24. Many of her writings, published after she died, had a impact on millions. She is considered one of the greatest Saints of the 20th century, and she was declared the 33rd Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II, the youngest ever to receive that honor.
This should be a really cool discussion about one of the Church's most exemplary young adults. One of us could be the next St. Therese! Well, maybe. :)
We'll meet at 6:30 PM in the OLV Parish office conference room. There is no charge to attend...BYOB...childcare is provided.
Take a look at http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/saints/ns_lit_doc_19101997_stherese_en.html for more info!
See you soon!

ToT meets Tuesday, Coffee continues Sunday
Hello! Just wanted to send a reminder about our upcoming Theology on Tap meeting this coming Tuesday, March 2. We'll discuss "How To Live a More Simple Life"...a very timely topic since we just started the Lenten season of reflection and simplification. We'll have a short video to view and some good discussion. We'll meet at 6:30 PM in the OLV Parish office conference room. As usual, no charge to attend, BYOB, childcare provided. If you can also help out by bringing a snack to share, that would be great too!
Also...we had a strong start to our Lenten Coffee and Theology series this past weekend. Our topic is "Becoming a Praying Person." It's a little different from previous Coffee sessions, in that instead of focusing on one or two books, we're studying six different instances of prayer represented in various places in the bible and discussing each. It's a very interesting approach! You don't have to attend all six sessions, so we hope you can join us even if you couldn't make it to the first! We'll meet this Sunday, February 28, 9:45-10:45 in the OLV social hall room A. Childcare is provided. We ask for a one-time $8 donation to cover the cost of the study guide. Other than that, you can enjoy all the coffee and doughnuts you want! Our meetings continue each Sunday through March 28.
We'll see you soon!!

Also, Coffee and Theology, our Sunday morning bible study series, starts this coming Sunday, February 21. This series will be "Becoming a Prayerful Person," and should be a great Lenten reflection. Coffee and Theology meets 9:45-10:45 (between Masses) in the OLV Social Hall. A one-time $8 donation is requested to cover the cost of the book. Coffee, doughnuts, and childcare are provided at each meeting. We hope you can join us!
Everyone have a great week!

ToT Saints' Gallery meeting Tuesday
Hello! Just a quick reminder about our next Theology on Tap meeting this coming Tuesday, February 2. (Insert your own Groundhog's Day joke here!) We'll meet at 6:30 PM in the OLV Parish office conference room. No charge, BYOB, childcare provided. If you'd like to bring a snack to share, great!!
Tuesday's meeting will be the introductory discussion on Saints. We'll watch a video on the lives of several different saints, and we'll discuss how we can apply some of the principles lived by those individuals to our daily lives in our modern society. It should be very interesting and informative...probably even entertaining! :)
Hope you can make it!!
Thanks to everyone who made it to our meeting a few days ago...it was wonderful to see everyone, along with some new faces. A big thanks to Father Alex for talking with us. He was AWESOME, and we can't wait to get him back!
Have a great weekend!

Season Kickoff!
Our season kickoff was a blast! We had a wonderful Mass said by Father Phil Paxton (special thanks to Father Phil for stepping in and covering for Father Alex). Thanks to Chip, Jeanie, Katie, Margaret, Sally, and Sister for helping with the Mass! After Mass we enjoyed a fantastic pizza dinner!
We'll see you all on January 26 when Father Alex presents "Authentic Catholicism."

The details of our meeting next Tuesday, 1/12...
We will begin with Mass in the OLV Chapel at 6:00 PM. We are delighted that Father Alex Steinmiller will be presiding. After Mass, we will head to the social hall for dinner and some socializing. It'll be great to see everyone after the holiday season!
ToT will provide the food and a limited supply of beverages. We're asking for a $5 donation to help cover the costs for the evening. Also, please feel free to BYOB (you can leave them in the Social Hall Room A (the room closest to the lobby area) before Mass if you like). As usual, we'll also have childcare.
If you plan to attend, please send us an RSVP email so we can get a ballpark number for the food.
Thanks everyone! See you Tuesday!!!
