Core Values - Christians follow Christ by bringing to life the values found in the Gospel. As Yankton Benedictines, we have gathered clusters of these values into three: Awareness of God, Community, and Hospitality. As we seek God, we consider these three as core, or central, to our lives. Flowing from our mission statement, the Gospel and the Rule of Benedict, they are also the values we invite coworkers in our institutions and elsewhere to share with us.
