Are you called to live a life radically centered on Jesus Christ & prophetically counter-cultural?

"The first purpose for which we have come together is to live in unity and to be of one mind and one heart on the way to God"
(The Rule of St. Augustine)
We are a 900 year old Roman Catholic religious order of priests and brothers living a simple communal life according to the Rule of St. Augustine, in fidelity with the wisdom and ancient traditions of our Church, serving the local Church of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
|
Over 400 years after the Roman Catholic Faith was brought to New Mexico we as Norbertines, Canons Regular of Premontre, are planting the seeds of our ancient tradition to live a life of community, contemplation and compassionate service with the people of God in the southwest.
|
Walk with us on our journey
of faith as we strive to live as one heart and one mind on our way into God.
Our Mission...
The Risen Christ sends us as apostles to witness the reality and the power of a Christian community of faith by living a simple, communal life according to the rule of Augustine and the ancient traditions of the Order of Prémontré, and by loving service to the Church of Santa Fe, and especially to its poor and needy.

In every age there are a few men who are chosen to serve God in a special way.
|
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." (Mark 10:21)
|
All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other. They sold their property and other possessions and distributed the money to those who needed it. The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and with simpleness of heart, they ate at each other's homes and shared their food. (Acts 2:44-46 )
|
There are a few men who are chosen to live close to God in a way only the celibate can know. And in that special relationship with God, they live together, pray together, and work together. They try to live as the early Christians did.
|
We minister to a world in need of salvation and a renewal of spirit.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him:Whoever loves God must also love his brother.(1 John 4:20-21)
|
"The whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul...Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their numbers those who were being saved" (Acts 4:32;2:46-47)
|
We are a religious community that knows that it is inwardly rooted in Christ and outwardly sent to serve others.
