Our Mission

We commit ourselves to Benedict's call to build community, modeling a contemplative stance that prompts us to :

  • Reverence all persons, especially the young, the elderly, the infirm, the poor, the stranger

  • Express our faith journey through liturgical celebration

  • Treasure all creation

  • Steward our goods and giftedness

  • Extend hospitality

  • Enjoy leisure

  • Pursue Peace.

 

We are called to listen and respond as we pray and work with the people of God in restoring and transforming the human community.
