by Bob & Carole Devlin, MCV's, Blessed Trinity Shrine Retreat

We have really enjoyed our three years as volunteers at this site.  Bob is the maintenance supervisor and also does hands-on maintenance for the retreat house and five other buildings on the property.  Carole is responsible for planting and maintaining the plants inside and outside the retreat house.  She also takes minutes at the staff meetings, keeps the statistics current, cooks on Sundays, and helps the Sisters with their duties when necessary. 

We also are able to attend any of the retreats sponsored by the retreat house.  We have found there are many people who are interested in being missionary volunteers.  It is a treat to share our experiences and give them information to get started on this great adventure.  

We live on the property in a 3-bedroom house, and the best part is that we are able to attend daily Mass.  We’ve even signed up for a 4th year!
