VISION  :
To provide a limited monastic experience to people in order to learn more about Benedictine spirituality, while living a simple life in community, and at the same time providing assistance with the monastery's ministries. By having this experience, individuals will develop a foundation for a richer spiritual life and find/explore their calling into some Church ministry in order to build up the Body of Christ.
MISSION :
The Holy Trinity Monastery volunteer program is established to provide opportunities for spiritual growth to individuals who serve and assist in the Monastery's various ministries. The HTM volunteer program utilizes the gifts of Oblates, living at the monastery and in the community; local volunteers and volunteers or associates from other lay ministry programs.

PRINCIPLES  :
* The Associate will experience Benedictine spirituality through daily work and prayer in community - ORA ET LABORA
* The Associate schedule will provide time for Mass, the Divine Office, Scripture classes, personal prayer, spiritual reading and spiritual direction.
* The Associate will have service assignments, which will support and maintain the monastery ministries, and work with other community members according to one's experience and interest, as well as the needs of the monastery.
