We believe that Jesus calls us to live the Gospel in all our daily activities. This call summons us to caring in our attitudes and actions, is reflected in our unconditional acceptance of each other and in mutual support. We recognize that our vocations and professions call us to bear witness to Christ in our personal lives and involvements within the community of Queen’s College and beyond.

We are committed to Christ and his Church. We participate in activities and programs to assist discernment, personal growth and professional development. Our commitment requires a blending and balancing of responsibilities and duties to our families, our academics, our community, and ourselves. Individually and collectively, we establish and maintain priorities through endeavors such as spiritual direction, worship, academic advice, peer support and social activities.

We ascribe to a holistic philosophy of formation for ministry. This summons us to strategic and deliberate endeavors to optimize spiritual growth, relationships, learning, and personal wellness. We are challenged to reflect the scope of our development through integration of knowledge, experience, and Christian love. We are further challenged to make constant efforts to recognize and respond to the dynamics of community, personal growth and development.

We recognize that individuals and groups within the College community and within the Church have distinct gifts, roles, and authority. We also believe that it is an asset to the individuals and organizations when everyone demonstrates respects, collaborates on projects, consults and shares in decision making, participates in a common vision, and takes responsibility for their involvements. We commit the College community to afford everyone an experience of mutual respect, support and cooperation. We must participate in dialogue and ventures with organizations beyond the College and the Church.
