A COMMUNITY JOINED IN FAITH Rooted in the Benedictine tradition that a balance of prayer and work is essential for stability and community, spirituality is a crucial component of daily life at St. E. Our faculty and staff nurture the motto of St. Benedict and model the values of hospitality, peace, prayer, compassion and the dignity of work. Beginning each day with morning prayer and celebrating events of worship and service, the spiritual life of the school is a rich one. The Campus Ministry team works in collaboration with the St. E pastor, the Religious Studies department, and the administration to support the prayer life, academic opportunities, and service opportunities available to students as well as to make visible the presence of the Rule of St. Benedict and the Viking Spirit in the community. Enabling each student to develop a deep and lasting relationship with God, students may participate in school liturgies and prayer services, class retreats, March for Life, Pass the Word Vocation Days, the Diocesan Youth Pilgrimage and summer service trips. Students of all religions are welcomed and encouraged to embrace and celebrate St. E values and traditions.
