Where young adults can deepen their relationship with God
		"Visitation House is responding to the needs of young people today. There is a tremendous hunger among young adults for community, for spirituality and for a deepening relationship with God. Visitation House is a way for our Sisters to create an environment where young adults can tend to these deep desires."   - Sr. Mary Pellegrino, CSJ Director, Visitation House

VISITATION HOUSE, which opened its doors in January 2002, is a ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden, Pennsylvania. The house at 2114 Sarah Street on Pittsburgh’s South Side provides a gathering place for young adults who desire to deepen their relationship with God. Visitation House provides opportunities for faith formation, spiritual enrichment, leadership development, and discernment for Catholic young women and men between the ages of 18 and 39.

VISITATION HOUSE also provides an opportunity for young women to experience community living for a time under the mentoring guidance of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The community experience focuses on interdependent living, both personal and shared prayer and shared responsibilities for the good of the community. Women who may or may not be interested in vowed religious life are invited to make a year commitment to the development of community life at Visitation House. Women pay a monthly room-and-board fee to cover living expenses at the house.  While living at Visitation House, women continue their work or school responsibilities. Community living provides an experience of learning to live interdependently with other adults in an intentionally spiritual environment that provides both challenge and support.
