TRINITA - New Hartford, CT (June 22 - August 10): Trinita is an exciting program primarily for families from challenging inner-city neighborhoods. Each week a new group of families arrive for a week-long family development program. Swimming, hiking, sports, family time, arts and crafts and a deepening education in the faith are just some of the activities Summer 2008 volunteers will make possible. The program runs for six weeks and we ask a minimum two week commitment. There is also a required orientation for first-time volunteers from June 22 - June 28.
