Creche

Jubilee House is almost there. 🎉

With two-thirds of our founding members moved in, we’re working through the final punch list: closet rods, window hardware, the unglamorous stuff that makes a house actually livable. But finishing the exterior paint? That feels like something worth celebrating.

Those bold colors are their own kind of witness - a joyful, unmistakable presence on the block. Jubilee House has arrived. 💙💛💙💛💙

It finally happened. 🏠✨

On Saturday, the founding members of Jubilee House moved in - years of planning, fundraising, construction, and dreaming made real in a single moving day.

And because Creche is a network, they didn’t move in alone. Members from three other Creche houses showed up to assemble furniture, set up appliances, clean upholstery, and do whatever it took to make the day a success!

This is what it looks like when community isn’t just a word. Welcome home, Jubilee House. 🙏

Holy Week is the busiest week of the year for clergy. Nobody has a spare hour. And yet the Blessing of the Oils never fails to be a genuine joy. 🙏

This is the day Episcopal clergy gather to renew their ordination vows and receive the holy oils we’ll carry into the coming year: for healing, for anointing, for blessing. Creche was well represented, with board members Michael Thompson and Edwin Johnson, the convener of our partner the Allston Abbey, Isaac Martinez, and the rector of our partner Emmanuel Church, Pam Werntz.

The work of building beloved community takes a whole network. So grateful for these people.
