The values that guide us
Our Values
Benedictine is a Catholic faith-based organization entrusted with advancing the life-enhancing senior care ministry of the Benedictine Sisters of Duluth, Minnesota. We witness to God’s love by creating inclusive communities, supporting those we serve to live well and with purpose, with special concern for the underserved.
Hospitality
Through dedication and commitment to those in our care, we welcome each resident and guest with openness, generosity, and respect.
Stewardship
We put care and love into action through thoughtful and purposeful management of our God-given resources.
Respect
We embody the core value of respect through how we interact and treat each other, particularly in our compassionate care for those who are vulnerable and in need.
Justice
We foster harmony and equity by building relationships with residents and families, with respect for individual rights and the well-being of the world around us.
Living Out Hospitality Through Our Mission
At Benedictine, we believe Hospitality is more than friendly greeting. It is a reflection of faith, mercy and the spirit that guides our care. Rooted in the Rule of St. Benedict, Hospitality means welcoming each person with respect and compassion, creating communities where residents feel at home, valued and supported in living with purpose and independence. Through this shared commitment, Benedictine communities become places where people are truly known and genuinely welcome.
