We, the Missionary Servants, are a congregation of Roman Catholic sisters founded in Holy Trinity, Alabama in 1918. We serve in a variety of ministries, usually in economically depressed areas.
We are an apostolic religious order and achieved canonical status in 1932. We live together in community but work in the world.

Our Family

We are one branch of a spiritual family within the Catholic Church: the Missionary Cenacle Family The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate (MCA) is the original and largest branch. It is comprised of lay men and women, married and single. The Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity (ST) is the priests' and brothers' branch. The newest branch of the family is the Blessed Trinity Missionary Institute (BTMI), a pious union of single women and men in private vows. Together, we sponsor the Missionary Cenacle Volunteer Program (MCV), the longest-running Catholic volunteer organization in the U.S.A.

[Our community initials are MSBT . We are sometimes  referred to as Trinitarians.]

Who and Where

There are about 160 Missionary Servants serving in the United States, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Mexico. We live in small groups called missionary cenacles.

Spirituality and Customs

Our Chief Devotions are

• The Trinity
• The Holy Spirit
• The Holy Eucharist
• The Incarnation

We reserve the Blessed Sacrament in the chapels of our cenacles.

We pray together (usually Christian Prayer) twice a day.

Our most cherished traditional prayer is the Novena to the Holy Spirit.

We proudly wear our community pin and the modest dress of the day.
