Being Benedictine is not so much about doing as being. Our essential ministry is Community. We strive to be a sign that strangers can come together as sisters in Christ. As a faith community we support and challenge one another to growth. We reverence Christ in the Scriptures, in all persons and in creation.
Prayer is a priority.
We are a worshipping people. God's Word nourishes and transforms us. Commitment to this prayer life creates community, unites us in the wider Church, gives meaning and purpose to our ministries and opens us in compassion and hospitality to others. Today is a time not unlike that of Benedict and his twin sister, Scholastica who were born in 480. There are still power struggles, violence, mistrust, alienation and hopelessness.
