Studies at the University of Louvain, Belgium. He holds an
M.A. in Liturgical Studies from Catholic University in Washington,

Fr. Richard sums
ups his impression of the Sheil community with 4 "P"
words: He said he appreciates the people (associates, students
and leaders); the praise (care for the liturgy, singing, prayerfulness);
the possibilities (opportunities for outreach, working for
justice, support); and the persistence (an intentional community
finding its way in a modern world and a modern church).
Father
David Godleski, S.J.
Father David Godleski,
S.J. was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, previously known
as the "Furniture Capitol" of the world and the
home of former President Gerald R. Ford. After attending a
Catholic grade school, he attended a local diocesan high school
where his father was a teacher and athletic director. While
he was an undergraduate at Michigan State University, he met
his first Jesuit, who impressed him with his homilies that
seemed so relevant to his own life. This sparked Fr. Dave's
own desire to join the Society. Although continuing his reflections
upon a vocation to the Jesuits, he did doctoral studies at
Northwestern University in applied mathematics and then got
his first "real" job teaching math at Loyola University
in Chicago. Eventually, Fr. Dave applied to the Society of
Jesus, entered the novitiate in Berkley, Mich., in 1988 and
professed perpetual vows in 1990. As a Jesuit, Fr. Dave studied
philosophy at Loyola University in Chicago and then taught
math to high school students at Loyola Academy in Wilmette,
Ill., from 1991-1994.
After teaching
for three years, Fr. Dave returned to the other side of the
desk, studied theology at Weston Jesuit School of Theology
in Cambridge, MA and was ordained a priest in June, 1998 in
Chicago. Since his ordination, he has been the Vocation Director
for the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus, which encompasses
the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and the archdiocese
of Cincinnati. The most enjoyable part of Fr. Dave's ministry
is the opportunity to meet and converse with people who are
trying to decide how God is calling them. Fr. Dave says that
it is truly a privilege and pleasure to listen to peoples'
stories and hear how the Lord has been active in their lives.
Father
John Moulder
Father John Moulder
is a Chicago diocesan priest, who combines his love of ministry
and his love of music. Fr. John joined the Sheil community
as a guest priest in January, 2002. His part-time residency
here is a component of his position as “liaison to the
arts community” in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Fr. John's passion
for the arts goes back to childhood. The Illinois native started
playing acoustic guitar at ten, began studying the instrument
seriously at twelve and fell in love with jazz and blues at
fourteen. He became interested in composing early on and has
since written music in many genres, though jazz is where the
majority of his work has been done.
A call to the priesthood
came later, at age 24, and he was ordained in 1990. But music
never left his life. He received his Master of Music (Jazz
Pedagogy) degree from Northwestern in 2000 and continues to
play at jazz clubs and occasional concert venues.
For Fr. John, the
priesthood and music have come together in the perfect mix.
“I found a way to balance both worlds.”
Father

full-time at Loyola University Chicago. As University Liturgist,
he teaches liturgy and is chaplain of the School of Law and

J." (as many students call him) lives with over 400 first
and second year undergraduates in a residence hall, providing
