Sheil Catholic Center

About this church

Sheil Catholic Center is Northwestern University’s Catholic campus ministry in Evanston. During the academic year, Sunday Mass is celebrated at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.; the 9:30 Mass is livestreamed. Weekday Mass is ordinarily offered at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, while summer schedules reduce both Sunday evening and weekday celebrations.

Sheil serves undergraduates, graduate students, young adults, faculty, staff, and associates through worship, learning, service, and social connection. Its mission emphasizes vibrant worship, transformative learning, and prophetic justice, and student groups provide distinct communities for different stages of university life. Weekend visitors may use the Northwestern lot across Sheridan Road unless signs say otherwise; the Noyes Purple Line station is also within walking distance. Because the Mass pattern changes around the academic calendar, first-time visitors should check the current date-specific schedule rather than assume all listed times are active. New students can use Sheil’s welcome page to learn about open houses, prayer, fellowship, and service opportunities.
