Study

We listen to truth

                        in whatever form it is revealed

           and strive to separate it from illusions

                        through prayerful and critical reflection

                        both in solitude and in communal sharing.

 

The theological and social consciousness developed

                        through shared faith and study

           forms within us a common vision and determination

                        for shaping the future.

 

From such analysis and discernment

           we seek insight

                        for pastoral planning and committed action

                        in our varied forms of ministry.
