Claudio Piccinini, C.P. (Passionist) is a Mission made up of individuals, families, religious, and priests. One of the programs offered by The United Society is the Teopoli Summer Experience, (T.S.E.). Since 1973 this program has been of immense value to the children and staff who have taken part in it. The T.S.E. serves a valuable human and spiritual need for children by helping them build confidence and belief in their own worth and dignity. It helps the adults by inviting them to collaborate with one another to create a world where people are treated more equally and fairly. Teopoli is a Catholic Spiritual Centre, which offers children and staff the opportunity to spend four 10-day sessions throughout July and August in the beautiful, natural setting of the Muskoka region.
