From the PresidentThe sign outside our school reads, “All guests welcomed as Christ.’’ Those words come from the Rule of St. Benedict. It’s a strong statement of our commitment to look for the face of Jesus in everyone we encounter.

As a Catholic school rooted in the Benedictine tradition, we are mindful that God is at the center of all we do. That mindfulness helps us strive to live a life of balance, a core value of Benedictine spirituality.

Living a balanced life with God at the center allows for days woven with grace-filled moments when we are attentive to God, to each other and to ourselves.

Our busy students know that Benedictine balance isn’t just about checking off items on their “to do’’ lists but, rather, about seeing those items as opportunities to give glory to God. It’s trusting that our tasks are made sacred by God’s presence. It’s taking the time to pause and to recognize the awesome wonder that our God is everywhere; right here, right now.

When we center ourselves on Jesus, we intentionally create space throughout our day for His light to shine and serve as a guide in all we do.

I invite you to visit Hill-Murray and learn more about our strong faith community.

Dr. Susan PaulPresident of Hill-Murray School

“Going on mission trips to Guatemala and rural Kentucky, serving

meals at the Simpson Shelter in Minneapolis, and painting MTLMZTa�TILQM[¼�ÅVOMZVIQT[�I\�the Maplewood Care Center are just a few of the service opportunities that have led me on my spiritual path. Through serving others,
