"If dinner once a week at Dismas House is one of the highlights of your week, imagine living at Dismas full-time! Student residency at Dismas develops relationships in a way that only living in fraternity can. Student residents are uniquely aware of the persistence and struggles of other residents and, as a result, can both learn and help in highly effective ways."

"I am honored to have been a part of the Dismas community during my senior year of college. Through this experience, I have developed enriching relationships with men who I have grown to admire and greatly respect, despite how seemingly different we may be. My housemates – my teachers – have taught me a work ethic and a humility that I strive to emulate in my own life."

"Dismas House will always have a special place in my heart. It is one of those places where you see God at work in your life and the lives around you everyday. I didn't know quite what to expect coming in my first weekend at dismas, but imagined it would be a pretty tough crowd. Instead, what I found was a family that supported me and taught me as much about community as I thought I might share with them. Godspeed to all those who are or have been part of the Dismas experience."

"My time at Dismas house helped to remind me that every person struggles with their own human nature - it's inescapable, and we need each other if we are ever going to improve as a society. Dismas House is a beautiful example of a diverse group of people helping each other improve as individuals and as a community."
"Living and working at Dismas House was an invaluable part of my college experience and education. I cannot think of a better place to learn servanthood or understanding than Dismas House. My advice: if you have an opportunity to share a meal or share a year with the residents of Dismas house, take it and don't look back. You surely will not regret it."
