"Should I apply?"

Dismas House is more than just a place to stay—it’s a community built on trust, support, and shared experiences. From nightly dinners to volunteer work, from welcoming visitors to celebrating milestones, life at the house is about connection and transformation. This mini-documentary offers an intimate look at what makes Dismas House special, capturing the daily moments that shape our residents' journeys.

This film was created by Alexx Johnson, a University of Notre Dame film student who spent countless hours at the house, immersing herself in our community to tell our story with care and authenticity. We are grateful for her dedication in bringing this project to life.
