Applying for a Room:

Because of the growing demand for the limited accommodations available at Catholic House the

Chautauqua Catholic Community has established a "lottery system" to assure equitable opportunities for

room arrangements.

​

The rate for all rooms is $550 per week. This is a room fee only and does not include a weekly gate pass to the Chautauqua Institution, parking fees or food.
