Life at Trinita: The Night Before
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2012/06/night-before.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Saturday, June 30, 2012. It is warm and peaceful now. All the volunteers are back from their big day off, after a week of training for the summer program. Lights are on everywhere, but other than that, there is no sign of life out on the grounds except for the usual mob of moths flocking around the spotlights. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The original main house. MCA in Costa Rica.

Life at Trinita: How to Stay Catholic
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-stay-catholic.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Monday, April 30, 2012. How to Stay Catholic. Something, anything. Anything is better than nothing. No one else is feeding them pancakes and telling them the magic formula. So, let's us do it! How bad can it be? At least it will be fun, that's guaranteed. And then in March we had thirty 2nd graders and their moms and/or dads crowded in for a First Communion retreat. That was a really fun day!

Life at Trinita: Fish Crossing
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2011/10/fish-crossing.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Thursday, October 13, 2011. Every year, as is our custom as Missionary Servants, I make an annual retreat. A week of silence, prayer, and reflection. I generally take long walks every day, and I see many things. Almost always, one or two images from this week of walking makes such an impression that it continues to bob to the surface of my thoughts the rest of the year. I spent several minutes rescuing fi...

Life at Trinita: A Peaceful Night
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2011/05/peaceful-night.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Monday, May 30, 2011. There is something about living where you work. It's hard to get out of work mode when it's all around you. Then the tag sale! Wow, what a huge amount of work that was! I have to say, I did not do too much of the prep work, but I can vouch for Patricia and Ellen and Vinnie and squadrons of volunteers tromping around for days in advance. Well, I did bake a lot of pumpkin bread for...

Life at Trinita: Emerald City
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2012/05/emerald-city.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Sunday, May 13, 2012. We had five seniors from the parish church down the hill arrive for our "How to Stay Catholic" workshop. The whole thing was an experiment. We usually call something like this a "pilot project" because it sounds more professional, but we've been testing a lot of new ideas in recent years. Take care Sister - - keep up the great explorations and guided journeys. May 19, 2012 at 9:15 PM.

Life at Trinita: Chili and the Doctrine of the Trinity
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2011/06/chili-and-doctrine-of-trinity.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Chili and the Doctrine of the Trinity. Our first annual Chili Cook Off was underway! Oddly enough, a reporter from the Winsted Journal showed up. He began circulating and asked everyone the same question: "What makes a great chili? Why can't we savor a delicious mouthful of really good chili and think about the Trinity? THAT is the image and likeness we are made in! Leave it to you,...

Life at Trinita: Three Meals
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2012/07/three-meals.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Monday, July 2, 2012. I grabbed a bowl of cereal. Top on the list: what is up with Sister's health? Some cell phone calls to various folks, the upshot being that she's on her way to another doctor so we just don't know. I guess the good news was that the first one had not sent her to an emergency room. By then it was time for pool duty, so back down the hill I went. What a great day at the pool!

Life at Trinita: Week Zero
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2011/07/week-zero.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Saturday, July 2, 2011. Well silly me. He meant which week in Christian Prayer, not in the Summer Program! OK, in that sense, yes, it's Week One! Soon enough, it will be over and Week One will begin. Is it some kind of materialistic American compulsion to be constantly on the journey, engaged in some activity at every moment? Adrift in another dimension! July 2, 2011 at 9:43 PM.

Life at Trinita: The Last Day
http://lifeattrinita.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-last-day.html
A Catholic mission in rural Connecticut since 1923: find out what the Missionary Servants are up to. Friday, November 30, 2012. This is the last day of the month. It's also (almost) the last day of the liturgical year. It also feels like the end of our season for giving program, as December is a pretty light month for us and we don't host groups in January. What is life at Trinita like this moment? What are the signs of Hope in these dark days? The best sign of life and hope here at Trinita is not the tr...
