Each year, the Sheil Catholic Center sponsors an international service trip to Cusmapa, Nicaragua where we work in collaboration with the Fabretto Children's Foundation (www.fabretto.org).  All of our volunteers are students, and many of them rely on the support of our scholarship funds.  Any money raised above and beyond their trip expenses will be given as a gift to Fabretto to support their programs in Nicaragua.  We are grateful for any gift you can contribute!


The Sheil Catholic Center is the Catholic outreach on the campuses of Northwestern University.  We are a faith community of students, faculty, staff and associates who together offer a welcoming place for worship, celebration of sacraments and pastoral care. We promote education and spiritual growth, as well as provide opportunities for service and leadership within the academic setting. Our mission is to transform society by renewing our faith and inviting others to know Christ.  Learn more about the Sheil Catholic Center at www.sheil.northwestern.edu


 
Beth Knobbe's Story
I first traveled to Nicaragua in 2003 with a group from Old St. Patrick's Church in Chicago, and my life has never been the same!  Today, as one of the Campus Ministers at the Sheil Catholic Center, it is my great joy and privilege to lead students on this adventure of faith and service.  This year marks our 5th trip and over 50 students have now participated in this service-learning experience.  All of the money I raise goes directly into our Scholarship Fund, which provides assistance to students who need help with travel expenses.  Please join me in our fundraising efforts by making a donation!

Thank you for believing in and supporting the mission of the Sheil Catholic Center as we strive to be the presence of Christ on the campuses of Northwestern University and throughout the world.
