TRINITY HOUSE CAFE is hiring high school graduates, college students, or young adults who would like to join our Fellows Program and find out what it's like to work in the New Evangelization! Owned by the John Paul II Fellowship, a non-profit dedicated to renewing community and culture, Trinity House Cafe is our outreach in the public square. Located in Leesburg, Virginia, we are a new model for the New Evangelization.
Our FELLOWS PROGRAM is a year-long, partially-paid internship for those looking to gain experience in the New Evangelization. High school graduates, college students, or young adults are invited to apply now to start the program in September 2015. The program has several aspects including:
* FORMATION - Fellows will be trained and formed in the ways of the New Evangelization. With the local Catholic parish being three blocks away, many spiritual goods will be offered like daily mass, holy hour, confession, bible studies, etc.
* LIVING IN COMMUNITY - Each Fellow will be provided free housing by living with a family or individual member of the local parish community. Fellows will help Christian families follow the model of Trinity House, making their own domestic churches into "Trinity Houses" for the whole neighborhood.
* SERVICE IN THE NEW EVANGELIZATION - Fellows will be partaking in the New Evangelization in two ways:
Cafe Work: At Trinity House Cafe, the New Evangelization is based on hospitality and service. Fellows will be trained to spend about 15 paid hours per week providing a warm welcome to our hungry guests, making coffee and tea drinks and simple meals, and bussing tables and washing dishes in service to our guests and their fellow staff. Through the cafe work, Fellows will learn that humble service is the basis for building a healthy community and culture.
Non-Profit Work: Trinity House Fellows will spend about 15 unpaid hours a week working for the non-profit John Paul II Fellowship which owns Trinity House Cafe. Fellows will learn a wide range of skills from creating, managing, and running workshops and events, to marketing, fundraising, and working with local businesses and groups. Fellows will learn how to work with youth and families in the parish to engage the laity in renewing community and culture. Trinity House events promote spiritual formation, learning, the arts, music, and other cultural activities.
