Cocktails with the Canonized (21+): Ven. Cornelia Connelly (Our Lady of Grace, Penndel)

You are invited to our monthly event series: Cocktails with the Canonized (21+)! This month's event will take place on Tuesday, April 29 at 7:00 PM in the St. Katherine Drexel Room, OLG School. Please RSVP to Eric Harper by Tuesday, April 22 if you are interested in attending: [email protected]

The Catholic Church has made significant contributions to the spirits. Beer brewing was perfected in medieval monasteries. It is likely that whiskey was invented by monks, too, in Ireland.

G.K. Chesterton famously said that he converted to Catholicism because it was the only religion that could reconcile the Cross and the pint. The world is sacramental and the beauty of creation is infinite; everything has the potential to point to the goodness of God.

Let's put something special in our glasses and toast the canonized. Each month we'll make a cocktail inspired by the life of a Saint and celebrate his or her life.
