The residents of St.
Joseph’s Vineyard
gather for their
weekly, family-style
dinner.
□
eals of laughter from the large, family-style
kitchen can be heard as soon as the front door of
St. Joseph’s Vineyard is open.
It is dinner time in this Christian community
formed by students, and the 10 residents of the
house are milling around the table, preparing dinner or
finishing their laundry.
In this room, they bump into each other, duck under
platters of food, play practical jokes and engage in dis
cussions about their own spirituality.
Richard Rychetsky, a house resident and a senior bio
medical science major, said this relaxed atmosphere
allows the community members to get into deep conver
sations that are on a higher spiritual level than most peo
ple are accustomed to.
He also said it allows for questions regarding personal
faith and Catholicism to be asked without the fear of
offending someone.
Adrian Benson, spiritual leader of the house and a
senior industrial engineering major, said the roommate
situation is beneficial.
"The most fruitful thing about choosing to live in the
community is that you learn about unconditional love,”
he said. “Because instead of choosing who to live with,
you chose where to live.”
The house operates like the home of a large family.
The residents have their own chores that they jokingly
call their “talent of the week.” A rotation system has
proven to be essential for the chores, house dinner
preparation and use of the laundry facilities. Chore lists
are posted on the refrigerator, and a small, white erase
board hangs by the washer and dryer where the days to
do laundry are individually assigned.
At the beginning of the semester, a night of the week is
designated for the house dinner, a time for all the mem
bers of the house to eat together. Each week, two resi
dents volunteer to cook the meal, earning them the priv
ilege to each invite one guest to dinner.
Another privilege is bestowed on the youngest resi
dent of the house, who is allowed to ask each dinner
guest three questions, such as the origins of their last
name, how their parents met, or if there is anyone
famous in their family.
Nestled in the “northside wing” of St. Joseph’s
Vineyard is a chapel in which the residents devote 20 to
30 minutes, Sunday through Thursday, to praying silent
ly, saying the rosary or having a community Bible study.
To heighten their spiritual experience, they have
devised a “prayer partner” system requiring that time
must be spent each day in prayer or conversation outside
of evening devotion.
“It is on a biweekly rotation system,” Benson said.
“Besides supporting a fellow Christian through hard
times, it also allows the residents to get to know one

Jazzercise Fitness Center
Right For Me! Right For You!
After having my second son I could not lose the weight I had gained during pregnancy. At my first visit to
Jazzercise Cathy encouraged me to give it a cfiance, and not to be discouraged when I didn’t see immediate results.
Cathy also informed me that it would take about 6 to 8 weeks to see a significant difference. I have met lots of
people, had a lot of fun and, hey, I lost about 33 to 35 pounds! Jazzercise offers different types of classes with
such a variety of music, so you never get bored. I am so pleased with the results of Jazzercise. I have gone from a
size 11 to a size 5! Thats 4 1 /2 inches off my thighs and 9 inches off my waist! Jazzercise has shown me that exer
cising doesn’t have to be a chore. As long as I am able I will be Jazzercising! Cathy can sign me up for life!
THANKS JAZZERCISE, ANNETTE SMITH!!!
