In honor of our founder and the rule of life he gave us, the Norbertines of St Michael’s Abbey are celebrating the legacy of St. Norbert by showcasing some of the craftsmanship and scholarship that mark the beauty (and rigor!) of monastic life.
Following lunch, our Special Collections library will be open for tours. Confreres and seminarians will also man small exhibits showcasing some of the many crafts we practice for the glory of God, including brewing beer, painting icons, keeping bees, sewing vestments, and more. We’ll also have information about the various corporal and spiritual works of mercy that we do beyond the abbey walls!
Nine hundred years later, St. Norbert’s reforms brought the people of God new hope, and formed an abundance of holy priests to serve them.
Today, St. Michael’s Abbey is one of the largest communities of the world-wide Norbertine Order. The fire which St. Norbert kindled in 1121 still burns brightly 900 years later, and God continues to call young men of faith in great numbers to lay down their lives in service to the Church.
