Small Groups
All are invited to join a Sheil small group to explore a particular area of Catholic faith and meet other members of the community. Ranging from bible studies to histories, each quarter there are new topics.

Rule of Life (open to all)
8 Thursdays, starting April 13, 2023 from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. CST (April 13, 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, 25, June 1) at Sheil Catholic Center, Evanston in the Christ the Teacher room
How do you live a life that leads you closer to God. Many of us have encountered formal rules, such of that of Augustine or Benedict, that govern religious communities, but what about the rest of us? We will discuss the daily, weekly, monthly and annual practices, as well as the values and communities that structure our own lives and form our unwritten Rules of Life.
Facilitator: Sister Belinda Monahan, OSB, Ph.D., Director of Transformative Learning at Sheil Catholic Center
