Service

St. Dominic famously gave away his school books in order to care for the poor among him. In her own short life, St. Catherine of Siena spent time comforting and caring for those who were ill. The founder of our Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters, Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli, was committed to serving others “wherever the work was most great and difficult” (The Memoirs of Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli).

This commitment to encountering the other, echoes recent sentiments from Pope Francis: “When you meet those most in need, your heart will begin to grow bigger, bigger and bigger! Because reaching out multiplies our capacity to love. An encounter with others makes our heart bigger” (Pope Francis & Encounter).

Trinity High School educates young women to embrace the global community in order to preach with our lives and actions. It is our responsibility to build a just society by beginning in our own communities. Through Jesus’ example, we learn to open our hearts to others in order to understand their needs so that we can transform the world together.

Students are encouraged to set up appointments with Ms. Spitler to discuss pairing student interest with local organizations. Stop by Campus Ministry (room 208) or send her an email to aspitler@trinityhs.org to set up an appointment.
 
Volunteer Match is also a wonderful online tool for finding local organizations and opportunities in your community.
