Building Catholic Communities is an informal confederation of scholars, architects, religious and lay leaders who are hungry to rediscover the rich history and tradition of community life based on Catholic principles.

Our initial effort is a series of lectures to explore two main topics: Catholic Social Teaching (in theory and practice) and investigating a model of community living known as co-housing.

From the lecture series we envision an association aiming not only to continue research on these two topics, but also to begin to plan and build actual Catholic communities.

We invite you to join our newsletter group to keep posted on the development of our efforts. We also welcome your thoughts, ideas and prayers.
