FALL  2020  UPDATE.

Our Brew City Catholic team would like to take a moment to communicate with you our hopes and plans for this fall, as well as the principles in which we are operating during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

• We believe life with Christ is a wonderful adventure, even in the midst of a world-wide pandemic. We pray that you are able to lean into the unknowns and anxieties surrounding our world. God is here and is with us! 
• We believe that the sacraments are essential. We encourage you to continue to seek out mass, confession, etc. when it is safe and possible to do so. 
• We believe this is a time for us to think smaller, and with that, deeper. Our hope is that you are able to specifically plug into a small group as a way to build community and grow in your faith, and in doing so grow closer to Christ.
• We have/are evaluating all of our events, programs, etc. in compliance with the Archdiocese Catholic Comeback matrix. Find out more information here. 
• We believe that gathering in-person is ideal, however we’d like for it to be both safe and communal. Even if allowed, we need to be able to host a gathering that truly facilitates a communal experience.
• We believe online options are helpful, but lacking. As great as technology is, we’re finding that many people are “zoomed out”. There is a balance between in-person and online during this time, and we want to help keep you connected. However, we also want to host opportunities that are worthwhile. We’ll continue to discern those needs as the situations arise. 

Here is what we are planning on for Fall 2020. 

• Cor Jesu at St. Robert Parish in Shorewood, WI will continue every Wednesday. Find out guidelines here. Join us!
• Fall small groups will be in full swing come September. Some groups may occur in person and/or online. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in your faith and connect with others during this time.
• We are hoping to host a larger outdoor social(s) within the guidelines given. This will be discerned in a way that ensures the safety and health of all who would choose to attend.
• We will NOT be hosting our annual Inheritance Young Adult Conference this November. Although this was a difficult decision, the time, energy, and financial resources it takes to put on the conference is significant. When considering the possibility of having to move the conference online we thought it’d be more helpful to go another route for this fall. We will look to host the conference again in 2021. 

We're doing our best to continue to serve and support you during this time. Please let us know of others ways we can do so. Again, God is here and is with us! 

God bless you,

The Brew City Catholic Team
