Pre-Covid First Friday Events: Following the P3 Model – Prayer, Penance, Pub – our group meets at 7:30 PM for a talk on a relatable faith topic (e.g., dating relationships, devotion to Our Lady, finding time to pray in our daily busy lives as young adults), which is usually followed by small group discussions. After the meeting, there is an opportunity for Penance for those who wish to receive the Sacrament, and then we go to the local pub. The pub we usually go to is the Steel Wheel in Ridgewood, walking distance from the church. We encourage young adults to come to any part of our First Friday events. If there are people who would like to come only to the pub, we typically get there around 9 PM. |
