About Rockwell House
Worship
Worship at the Rockwell House is centered around the Eucharist (also called Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, or Mass). On Sunday nights, we gather to hear people read Scripture and preach in response to it; to sing and to pray for the world and those we love; to share the blessed bread and wine; and to be sent back into the world renewed and refreshed for the week to come. In worship as in everything we do at Rockwell House, we strive to be fully inclusive of all.
Friendship
On Wednesdays and Sundays, we sit down to home-cooked meals and engage in conversation, catching up, and sharing celebrations and struggles. Special and lasting friendships are made here. Many students who became friends through Rockwell consider these relationships to be their strongest and most meaningful. Rockwellians often end up sharing apartments or campus housing together. Students find Rockwell House to be a place of welcome and nonjudgment.
Hospitality
Rockwell House is our home… and that means it’s your home, too! Rockwell House is a place where you can hang out, study, watch TV, meet with a small group, bake cookies, and relax in the back garden. The whole house has wireless internet. The Chaplain’s office is here. And on Sundays and Wednesdays, dinner is here as well! Come on home, meet the community… and don’t be afraid to put your feet on the furniture!
