Saint Mary's House
Dorchester
Our Community
The St Mary's House is an intentional community in Dorchester dedicated to affordable, sustainable, faith-rooted living. Our house is queer and queer-affirming, diverse, and striving to be anti-racist. Our spiritual practices are rooted in but not limited to the Christian tradition. We live in a 6 bedroom house in the historic Meeting House Hill neighborhood of Dorchester, steps from Ronan Park.
Our Parish
We are affiliated with St. Mary's Church, a historically Black Episcopal congregation in nearby Upham's Corner. St. Mary’s is an inner city parish committed to the spiritual growth of its members, to serving the hungry, and providing a safe and enriching place for children and youth. We embrace the diversity of our members and our neighborhood; young and old, black and white, gay and straight, poor and professional, as we share in worship, fellowship, and service to others.

Our Network
We are a part of Creche, a non-profit network of intentional communities in the Boston area. All Creche houses share the infrastructure, support, and common mission of Creche, while living into their own unique community identities and neighborhoods. Our house is the first house that Creche owns, rather than renting. We take pride in the stability that offers as well as the stewardship this requires.
Joining St. Mary's House
Joining our community is a process of mutual discernment between a prospective resident and the current house. As we are a graduate student house, most of our vacancies follow the academic calendar. If you're interested in joining the house, contact Isaac Everett, Executive Director of Creche, to inquire about vacancies and to schedule an informational meeting: isaac@creche.community
