Serve children and families at this Catholic summer mission in Connecticut! The summer program is coordinated by our sisters who live and work year-round at Trinita Retreat Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Trinita is a camp-like setting of over 100 acres of fields and woodlands in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. Trinita's summer program serves inner-city families who come for a week-long stay. Each week is structured with faith, fun and family activities. A typical day at Trinita includes family sharing time, peer group time, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking and more! The community at Trinita is very diverse, and many of the families are bilingual, speaking Spanish and English.Volunteers are needed to assist with every aspect of this summer mission.

Missionary Cenacle Volunteers is accepting applications (from men and women, young and old, single and married) to serve at this life-giving, rural mission this summer. As with all MCV summer missions, you must be 18 years or older to apply. Volunteers are responsible for their own flight arrangements and travel costs. There are no other fees for participation in our program, and you are provided with room and board during your time of service.

There is an Orientation Week for new volunteers beginning June 24.  Family groups begin arriving Saturday, June 30 and follow for 6 consecutive weeks, ending August 11. New volunteers must participate in the Orientation Week, and can choose to serve for a total of anywhere from 2-7 weeks. Some spend only a week with the families, some three weeks, others the whole Summer.
Volunteers at Trinita are people of all ages who come from all over the country. Volunteers live together in community in single-sex cabins. A group of 10-12 volunteers will be selected for each week. Come serve others, have fun and grow closer to God as a Missionary Cenacle Volunteer at Trinita!

What former volunteers are saying about Summer Mission at Trinita...

"I constantly challenged myself and I realized I have more in me than I thought. I also learned a lot about the Holy Spirit and have come closer to discovering my vocation."

"The presence of God in relationships was always evident. Whether it was in fostering a new one, strengthening an existing one, or repairing a broken one, the Holy Spirit was always at work within the relationships among the people at Trinita."

"I could not have imagined a place so refreshing, yet so full of history and tradition, so structured yet carefree, and so busy yet so peaceful. It was this beauty that set me at ease the moment I arrived."
