Out of our mission to bring about unity and reconciliation,

we live a spirituality that centers on relationships:

our relationship with God, with all others, and with the universe.

We are deeply interested in and try to foster

the relationship of others with God, with one another, and with the universe.

The prayer of Jesus “That all may be one” is our deepest aspiration,

and we find our model for relationships in the Holy Trinity of Love

and in Jesus, Mary and Joseph who give this Love a human countenance.

Our characteristic spirit is a constant moving toward the more.

This is symbolized on our Coat of Arms by the martlet,

a mythical bird which has no feet.

Striving toward excellence in all things is, however, always to be tempered

by gentleness, peace, and joy.

CONGREGAVIT NOS IN UNUM CHRISTI AMOR

THE LOVE OF CHRIST HAS GATHERED US INTO ONE
