Vocations

Curious about the day-to-day life at St. Norbert Abbey? Wonder what it’s like to be a Norbertine? Want to know more about the Norbertine mission?

The Norbertines are a religious order of men, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who live a common life according to the Rule of St. Augustine. We welcome young men ages 18-40 to discern a vocation to Norbertine religious life and/or priesthood. Our vocation director, Fr. Johnathan Turba, O. Praem., strives to journey with vocation contacts, introducing them to Norbertine confreres and ministerial apostolates while answering questions about our common life.

We invite you to reach out with any questions you might have regarding the Norbertine Community of St. Norbert Abbey, and to consider joining us for one of our Come & See retreats. Links to additional information can be found on this page. Young men joining us in advancing our mission is another way our canonical life remains “ever ancient, ever new.”
