Theology on Tap is the name given to lectures sponsored by a number of local Roman Catholic dioceses. The lectures, which are often given by noted spiritual leaders and religious academics, address current topics in religion and theology, and are notable and sometimes controversial for their venue, which is normally a parish center, a bar or restaurant. The series was cofounded by Father John Cusick (a resident of Old St. Patrick's Parish, and director of the archdiocese's Young Adult Ministry) and Father Jack Wall in June 1981 in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

Since 2007, RENEW International has had responsibility for servicing and expanding THEOLOGY ON TAP in parishes and dioceses around the world.
Theology on Tap has exploded in popularity since its founding and has spread to more than 180 parishes and at least five other countries, including Canada, Italy, Taiwan, the Philippines, Ireland, and Hong Kong.

Fr. John Cusick is the Director of Young Adult Ministry for the Archdiocese of Chicago. Fr. Cusick is an author who wrote a book on encouraging young men to consider the priesthood and also coauthored “The Basic Guide to Young Adult Ministry”. Fr. Cusick has designed a number of programs, such as retreats dealing with work life, marriage for young people, and young adult Masses among others.

Also featured on the show will be Shannon McNerney, the Executive Manager of Events at Oregon Catholic Press. She will be discussing The OCP Reading Sessions which are scheduled in areas across the United States. These sessions are designed to assist liturgical musicians and choir directors to learn more about the spiritual aspects of the music Catholics pray during liturgy.

These guests can be seen on Tuesday, April 21st live at 10:30AM (EST)
