Madeleine Living Community

The Madeleine Community offers first-year students an opportunity to grow in their faith, develop their prayer life, and deepen their commitment to service and justice while creating community with their peers. Students accepted into this community live together, take their first-year seminar class together, and engage in faith formation and service as a cohort. This experience is supported by four pillars — community, prayer, service and justice, and is named after the Madeleine Chapel in Bordeaux, France where Blessed Father Chaminade first gathered young adults to grow in their faith.
