About this Event

The Challenge of Christmas: Unwrapping our Spiritual Gifts

Beyond the socks or sweaters found wrapped under the tree are the real gifts of Christmas: spiritual stories and practices which exemplify the many gifts of our spirits and the depth of their involvement. Gifts which are there for the taking, whether we realize it or not. But how do we understand, how do we embrace, how do we listen to these spirits during the busy holidays, or when daily struggles with personal, work,or social situations become overwhelming? How do we open this spirit-filled box?

Join us on December 6th as Guest Speaker Jack Shea engages our imagination, our intellect and our Spirit.


Jack Shea is a consultant with decades of experience in providing theological and formation services to parishes and faith-based organizations. He has published over twenty books of theology and spirituality (including Liturgical Press’s popular Spiritual Wisdom of the Gospels series), three novels, and three books of poetry.

He has served as the Executive Director of Program Design and Implementation for the Ministry Leadership Center; the Advocate Healthcare Senior Scholar in Residence at the Park Ridge Center for the Study of Health, Faith and Ethics; research professor at the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University of Chicago; and Professor of Systematic Theology and Director of the Doctor of Ministry program at the University of St. Mary of the Lake.
