Personnel & Training
Read More- To kick off the school year Trinity faculty and staff attended a viewpoint diversity training. The purpose of the training was to embrace the differences between others while challenging our community to enter new spaces with an open and willing mind. From the training, we created a step-by-step process called C.H.E.C.K. with its mission being to hold ourselves accountable prior to blaming others. This is done by answering the following questions:
- Can I be certain?
- Have I been wrong?
- Is there proof beyond my personal experience to support me?
- Can I find some connection to the other person's point of view?
- What have I learned?

Sinsinawa Dominican Peace & Justice Resources
For St. Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, the Gospel was the standard against which everything else was to be measured. We are called to be in touch with the needs, hopes, desires, and aspirations of those with whom we share this planet. Dedication to truth and the study required to know truth plunges us directly into issues affecting our society and Church.
