Lent & Holy Week

Lent

Stations of the Cross - The Stations of the Cross are a special way to pray during the Lenten season. Join us every Friday (except March 27th during spring break) between February 20th and April 3rd at 3:00 p.m. These will take place at Sheil Catholic Center, Evanston.

Catholic Relief Services' Rice Bowl - Rice bowls are a way to collect funds that help vulnerable people around the world and put your faith into action. The rice bowls are available after every Mass and service on Ash Wednesday, and will be on the table in the commons at Sheil Catholic Center, Evanston throughout Lent. Please pick one up, fill it with your donation, and then bring it back the week after Easter. We will collect the funds and give them to Catholic Relief Services.
