Our Core Values:

AWARENESS OF GOD

• Seeking God in our prayer together and savoring the word of Scripture;
• Listening for the Divine voice in the stillness of our own hearts;
• Regarding the ordinary with reverence: our work and prayer, people, places, material things, events.

COMMUNITY

• Building trustful and loving relationships with God, with one another, with planet earth, and with our deepest selves;
• Practicing collaboration and cooperation;
• Learning the daily arts of forgiveness and peacemaking.

HOSPITALITY

• Warmly welcoming others as Christ those with whom we live as well as guests and strangers;
• Opening our hearts and our doors to those pushed to the edges of life: the sick, the needy, the elderly;
• Sharing communal and personal gifts in compassionate service to others.

The charism entrusted to Benedictines is the call to seek God in cenobitic (monastic) community, to praise God through prayer and ministry, and to listen with eagerness to the Spirit's call into the un-known future. The charism is both flexible and stable. It is an on-going task and an ever-present gift, calling for a faithful response each day.
