Community.Faith.Hospitality.Love

In August 2013, ten other students and I started an off-campus intentional living community called Faber House. While the idea started as a service house, Faber House has become a community focused on putting our faith into action through hospitality and community rooted in love. Once a week we have family dinner followed by a reflection or an activity. Reflection topics have ranged from happiness to forgiveness to living responsibly as a Christian. Once a month we invite other students, professors or community members to join us. We take St. Peter Faber as our patron because he was the "quiet companion" of St. Ignatius. Peter Faber spent time in reflection, but also educated others and built community. We hope that Faber House has become and will continue to be a place of great friendship, hospitality and love. By living out the Jesuit values that Loyola has taught us, we strive for magis and to be men and women for others while sharing a common lived experience.
