Café Catholica

Café Catholica Lite

The next Café Lite will be on Thursday, November 7^th, at St. Laurence Church, Ave Maria Center (3103 Sweetwater Blvd, Sugar Land, TX), from 7:00-9:00 pm, with an optional prayer hour from 6:00-7:00 pm. Our speaker will be Meg Hunter-Kilmer, who calls herself a “hobo missionary.” Her topic will be “A Thousand Paths to Holiness: How the Saints Teach Us to Follow God without Leaving Ourselves Behind.”

The Café Catholica program seeks to help young adults (ages 18-39) encounter Christ and his Church. All young adults are invited to join us for Café Catholica Lite throughout the year. We will gather at different locations around the archdiocese for a talk, followed by time in prayer and fellowship.
