Kateri Community | Rockhurst University

Kateri Community is a unique opportunity to share space, spirituality, growth, and life with peers for a year while you are at Rockhurst! Students apply to Kateri Community and indicate their preference (Catholic/Ignatian or Sustainability/Eco-Spirituality) when submitting their housing request early in the spring semester. Preference will be given to seniors and juniors, but sophomores are invited to apply as well. Former members of Kateri Community are eligible to apply to live/serve as a Kateri Assistant, which involves summer lodging/communal living in exchange for weekly chores.
