“Winter at the Cellar”

A Continuing Enrichment Program for
Catholic Adults and Young Adults

•   •   •

Our popular summer and winter Cellar programs offer Catholic adults of all ages an opportunity to learn and grow in a comfortable, familiar environment at the Cellar Lounge in downtown Waterloo. 

We choose presenters from among pastors and pastoral leaders as well as lay leaders on both the local and diocesan level.  We ask them to address a variety of interesting and important issues which shape the lives of Catholic adults in the Church today.

Presenters and participants alike enjoy the relaxed and informal atmosphere which contributes to a stimulating combination of presentation and discussion.  Beverages and food are available before, during and after the presentations.

Cellar programs are free and open to the public.  No registration.

All programs are held at
The Cellar Lounge
320 East Fourth Street • Downtown Waterloo

The Cellar Lounge is located on the lower level of CU Restaurant.

“The Mystery of God”

In this session we examine what Catholics believe about God -- "that than which nothing greater can be thought," in the words of St. Anselm.  Fr. Barron explains St. Thomas Aquinas' arguments for the existence of God and examines the question of evil as it relates to the existence of God.

“The Body of Christ”

In this session we examine what Catholics believe about the nature of the Church, the Body of Christ.  Fr. Barron explains the one, holy, catholic and apostolic nature of the Church and the unique mystical union between Christ and his Church which can be experienced but not fully understood.

“The Word Made Flesh”

In this session we study the mystery of the Liturgy and the Eucharist.  Fr. Barron explores the Catholic belief that "all value is summed up in the liturgy, the supreme act by which we commune with God," and explains how the Eucharist functions as the "source and summit" of Catholic life.

In this session we study the Catholic understanding of the Church as a "vast company of witnesses" who are called by Christ into the  Communion of Saints.  Fr.
