Intentional Community in El Cerrito
St. Jerome’s in nearby El Cerrito offers 10 rooms adjacent to a Catholic church and school about 2.5 miles from DSPT. This community is ordinarily made up of students from 1 or more of the 3 Catholic schools of the GTU. Each student has his/her own bedroom and shares a bathroom with one other student of the same sex. All other facilities are held in common, and all costs above rent (food, supplies, utilities) are divided among the group. Students develop their own practices each year, but they usually have dinner together once a week and get together to pray in common in the house chapel. Parking is limited. There are laundry facilities on the premises.

Housing for Religious Students
Members of Roman Catholic dioceses or religious orders without communities in the Berkeley area are encouraged to seek housing with another religious community, subject to the rules, fees and requirements of that community. One option is St. Albert Priory, a large Dominican community in Oakland and home of the Dominican student brothers of DSPT. Lay students coming only for a summer session may also be able to find housing at St. Albert Priory.
