'' If men knew the peace which the religious soul enjoys in its cell, the whole world would be transformed into a monastery. "
     St. Scholastica

Patronage of Saint Scholastica

 

We entrust this new foundation to the celestial patronage of Saint Scholastica, the first Benedictine nun. Like us, she was a pioneer of the soul. She did not enter an established house; she stepped into the unknown, driven by a holy fire to establish the first monastery for women dedicated to the Rule.

 

She teaches us that a foundation begins not with stone walls, but with the strength of a woman’s prayer—a prayer so powerful it could command the very heavens. As we seek to take up the ancient roots of the Norbertine Order, we look to her as our guide. She proves that through total surrender to Divine Providence, a small seed of faith can grow into a sanctuary for generations.

 

 

 

 

 

The Solemn liturgy 

 

Traditional Liturgy

Our life is centered upon the Traditional Latin Mass, where the Holy Sacrifice is offered in the beauty of the Ancient Norbertine Rite.

In the solemnity of the sacred liturgy and the timeless echoes of Gregorian Chant,  we find the 'pearl of great price

 

Eucharistic Adoration
As daughters of St. Norbert, we are called to be Eucharistic souls.              We seek to spend our lives inSolemn Adorationbefore the Blessed Sacrament, keeping watch with the Beloved in the silence of the sanctuary.

 

The Work of God
Seven times a day, we shall gather in the choir to chant the Divine Office. Through these sacred hours, we elevate our voices to the heavens , joining the angels in a perpetual sacrifice of praise to sanctify both day and night.

 

Importance of Marian devotion

 

The White Habit: Clothed in Mary’s Purity

In the stillness of the Order’s dawn, it is told that the Blessed Mother herself appeared to St. Norbert, presenting him with the White Habit. For the young woman who seeks this life, to wear this habit is a profound and daily act of devotion.

 

The white wool is a living symbol of Mary’s Immaculate Conception and the purity of heart required to stand before the face of God. Each day, as a sister receives her habit, she does not merely dress; she "clothes herself in Mary," seeking to hide her life within the mantle of her Queen.

 

For a Norbertine, devotion to the Blessed Virgin is her foundational identity. In Mary, she finds the perfect mirror of her own vocation: a heart that is a sanctuary for the Word. To be a daughter of St. Norbert is to walk ever closer to Jesus, guided by the hand of the Mother who first said "Fiat" to the wonders of God.
