Our Mission
The Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University accompanies students and associates in becoming witnesses to Love through vibrant worship, transformative learning, and prophetic justice.
"Sheil Catholic Community is a place that has given me the opportunity to grow in my faith through participating in Busy Student and Encounter retreats, Masses, and Adoration. This academic year, I look forward to serving as a lector and with the livestream ministry."
