The Sheil Catholic Center is committed to providing the best Catholic Campus Ministry possible to the students, faculty and staff of Northwestern University.
The Sheil Development Office offers several opportunities for alumni, parents and friends to contribute to our mission throughout the year:
The Annual Fund, formerly known as the Chaplain's Fund, provides a critical source of financial support for the most urgent needs of Sheil's Campus Ministry. Your gift will have an immediate impact on students in the areas of:
- Liturgy and Sacraments
- Social justice and service opportunities
- Retreats
- Student faith formation
- Theological education
- Professional staff development
To contribute or learn more, please contact Teresa Corcoran, Director of Operations at t-corcoran@northwestern.edu or (847) 328-4648.
