Agape House is an intentional living community grounded in faith, dedicated to service, aiming for simplicity, and working for justice. We live here together. We eat together, pray together, and laugh together. Once a week we set aside time for a community meal and group reflection. In addition, we each volunteer our time for a good cause six hours a week.

We have all come here to find support and friendship in this community. Our "Agape House" consists of four apartments and our community room. From this space, we have carved out a common kitchen, dining room, prayer area, and a hang out space.

There are seven of us here on the first floor of Holy Cross Hall at Loyola University Chicago. We are three women and four men. We are not a cult or a commune, a seminary or a convent. We are college students. We are sophomores, juniors, seniors, and an adult facilitator for guidance.

This program is backed by Residence Life, University Ministry, and the Jesuit Community. We hope that you will feel welcome to come visit us in person. There is always a cup of coffee, a futon, and friendship waiting.
