Norbertine convents are branches on the family tree of the Norbertine Order that live according to the inspiration of St. Norbert (1080-1134) and the Rule of St. Augustine. Until 1997, Norbertine sisters and nuns (also known as canonesses) only had convents in Europe. Fortunately, since founding two houses in California, American female Norbertine communities continue to grow in numbers, faith, and spirit.
