Building & Community
Our building is a rich resource of which we seek to be faithful stewards. It’s managed by our volunteer Property Committee and staff. It’s also home to other groups, neighbors and organizations who care for it alongside us. Our building partners are a vital part of the SJU community. We welcome all visitors.
