Households

Households are a core element of the Ave Maria community. Other universities have sororities and fraternities. At AMU, we have holy households!

Households provide supportive communities for students to deepen their faith through prayer, service, events, and intentional friendships. These same-sex groups come together, inspired by God’s Holy Spirit, for weekly commitments to prayer, growing in specific virtues, and emulating patron saints.

Members of a household share meals, attend Mass, and participate in various social and community activities. The bonds formed in these communities are often as tight as the holiest Catholic families—students find lifelong friendships in their household brothers and sisters.
