Christian Living Communities

The Catholic House

The Catholic House is an upperclassmen intentional living learning community that fosters holistic development in the Catholic faith. The Catholic House is built on 5 pillars: prayer, community, service, intellectual life, and chastity.

Students participate in weekly prayer, a community mass during the week, service projects, house meals, and a sharing of their daily lives. Students also participate in two retreats a year.

The Catholic House is comprised of individual apartments and community living space. The house has its own chapel with the Eucharist reserved, a community living room and kitchen and a student study lounge. The house is located at 306 W. 6th Street on the corner of 6th and Myrtle.

Applications for the Catholic House are recevied in the fall and interviews for the house are given in the early spring for admission the following academic year.
