Theology on Tap OC - The Liturgical Year: Redeeming a Sacred Rhythm
2026-03-03 18:30
For March and since we are now in the season of Lent, we are featuring a conversation with Fr. Glenn Baaten, the pastor of St. John Henry Newman and chaplain of Santiago Retreat Center.

In this conversation, we will briefly look back on Fr. Glenn’s pastoral journey into the Catholic Church. We will then discuss the significance of a liturgical year. But didn’t St. Paul do away with “festivals, a new moon, or a sabbath”? Why then does the Church impose a calendar with Holy Days of Obligation, cycles, seasons, memorials and feasts? How about the liturgy of the hours? What do all these got to do with the Gospel and deepening a relationship with Jesus Christ?

Theology on Tap OC features a Catholic speaker every first Tuesday night in Brewheim, a local brewery that is walking distance from the Angel Stadium. Our events are FREE of charge and open to the public.
