  • Archdiocesan Household Program Welcomes Applications

    Do you know a young adult looking to deepen their faith and discern where God is calling them within a community of like-minded youth adults?

    The Archdiocesan Households Program may be for them!

    The Household Program is an initiative of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth through the Vocations Office and supported by Holy Cross Chaplaincy. Households are small communities where young adults live together around a shared Rule of Life. They are designed so that young adults can grow through communal discipleship and receive support as they discern a vocation.
