All who are part of Good Samaritan Education share an understanding that the universe is graced and all creation is inherently dignified and worthy of reverence (Genesis 1–2). In Jesus the Christ, God has become one with us in our humanity.
We believe that our lived experience is the meeting place with the Divine, where we are invited to listen, to hear the Good News that we have been loved into life.
We encounter God as Creator, Word and Spirit in our relationships with others, the Earth and all creation. We hear both the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor (Laudato Sí, n49). As an ecclesial community sharing in God’s mission (John 15:15), we are called to respond to those cries with wisdom, joy, creativity and hope. Our Benedictine legacy also requires us to steward the Earth and its resources with care.
