St. Hilda's House is a residential young adult discernment program devoted to spiritual formation and urban ministry while living in community. It is based at Christ Church New Haven in partnership with Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University. The unique setting, in the heart of Yale University and New Haven, gives interns access to a diverse range of service, educational, and spiritual resources.
St. Hilda's House interns deepen their understanding of themselves, their work, their faith, and their ministry by participating in mutual support, communal formation, and intentional worship and prayer. This community and vocational discernment is nurtured when work, home, and faith are integrated and reflected upon so as to transform our thinking, our intentions, and our purposes.
Interns serve throughout the greater New Haven area in various urban ministries like food banks, Christ Church's daily soup kitchen, shelters, clothing collection and distribution. Other opportunities include hospice work, lowincome housing renovation, Chapel on the Green, just to name a few.
This program presents incredible opportunities for people seeking to focus on the interior life, to deepen our relationships with God, and for our engaging with God in the imperative to create with Him. We seek to be the image of God as we are transformed individually and in community for the sake of those with whom we live, work, study, and play. It is a community of companions in transformation living in the shadow of the cross as we walk together through the gates into the city.
