BENEDICTINE HALLMARKS
Prayer and Worship
Prayer and Worship
At its core, prayer is a conversation with God, where we both speak and listen. At Benedictine, it is a regular part of our school’s life, manifesting our identity as children of God in the Eucharist and other liturgical practices. We emphasize the value of daily silence and reflection, recognizing them as integral components of the whole person. The practice of listening “with the ear of the heart” brings us closer to God and to each other. This involves listening to God’s Word, the Rule, and each other throughout our school experience.bus leo.
Humility and Obedience
Humility and Obedience
At Benedictine High School, humility involves acknowledging one’s limitations and weaknesses, fostering accountability, and embracing reconciliation to understand our common humanity and our need for God. Humility helps us to admit mistakes and foster a culture of honesty and understanding. In the Benedictine tradition, obedience entails aligning one’s will with God’s through trust and openness to others. Crucial for school order, obedience is a shared commitment to mutual respect and listening to each other so that the needs of all are met.
Community and Stability

Community and Stability – Our school is rooted in a strong sense of community. What we do best, we do together: recognizing the talents of each and our need for cooperation to be the best we can be. Stability fosters a caring community where everyone, regardless of background, beliefs, or abilities, feels a sense of belonging through personal connections in dignity and respect. Embracing our alumni, this foundation goes beyond the school experience and into the larger community.

Hospitality and Charity
Hospitality and Charity
Hospitality is a paramount value, a tangible way for us to encounter Christ. The reception of guests fosters a sense of generosity. The practice of hospitality extends beyond a mere welcome; it embodies the core idea of encountering Christ in every guest and those in need. Whether they are prospective students, visiting teams, guest speakers, or workers, every visitor should feel the warmth of our welcome and experience genuine concern for their needs.
Stewardship
Stewardship
Through the scriptures, Christians recognize a moral obligation to use resources wisely. We understand that our resources are gifts: finances, staff and student talents and educational opportunities. Our school program is dedicated to shaping student responsibility for the appreciation and use of these gifts. This fosters a community-wide desire to pass on a well-ordered educational experience to the next generation.
Conversatio
Conversatio
Conversatio encompasses everything that constitutes the school’s identity — beliefs, values, and overall way of being. It is a realization that our life’s journey is a constant search for the truth and turning toward imitating Christ in every situation throughout life. The experience of knowing and living a life in Christ goes beyond the Benedictine school experience and provides a fountain of resources for shaping one’s identity long after graduation.
