JSTB's Corcoran House offers apartment living in a community setting. The concentration of many sabbatical students in this residence provides opportunities for social activities, such as monthly celebration of birthdays and Friday evening get-togethers. Weekends are a time for trips and social outings. The rich cultural opportunities of the Bay Area and the natural, scenic grandeur of the Pacific coast and the Sierra mountains generate many varied recreational choices, fostering balanced and integral renewal of mind and body. In 2000-01, there will be one scheduled trip per month, and others may be planned by sabbatical students depending on their interests and schedules.
Days away create community, times for prayer and play.
Eucharist is celebrated daily. Alternate Wednesdays there is a liturgy for those in the sabbatical programs. All students are encouraged to join local parishes for the Sunday celebration of Eucharist. Bay Area churches include many vibrant, multi-cultural worshipping communities. It is conveniently located.
