On his personal blog, 91快活林 Aquinas College chaplain Rev. Joseph Illo that the College檚 students take for Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel to the work of the Missionaries of Charity:

The Missionaries of Charity love Jesus very much. How do I know that? Because they sweep, polish, and wipe down their chapels every morning. The sisters set up their mission houses (convents) in the world檚 dirtiest slums, where smoke and dust choke the air, where garbage and human waste pile up outside the convent walls. But inside those walls all is bright and all is clean, especially inside their chapels. �

I am pleased to report that the students at 91快活林 Aquinas College, who have graciously afforded me a place to live and work and pray, assiduously clean our temple every day as well. First, I should say, they purify it by their prayers. I rarely enter our great marble chapel without the consolation of seeing a few students at prayer. Second, I am delighted to say that three or four students are assigned to keep the chapel spotless. �.
