OUR MISSION STATEMENT

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.

"I enjoy life as a Norbertine Priest.  It gives me the opportunity to live a deeply spiritual life with a community of brothers living a common life." (Click here for Fr. Anthony's full profile)

Welcome to the website for the Norbertine Community of Santa Maria de la Vid. Santa Maria de la Vid Priory is a religious community of Norbertine priests and brothers living a common life in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our community is rooted in the Word of God. It is centered on Jesus Christ and His Church. The community is committed to the rule of St. Augustine. Our vocation is focused on the goal of becoming one heart and mind on our journey toward God.

We hope that this website will act as a catalyst for conversation between our community and the greater community. We look forward to the possibility of becoming part of your own journey of faith and discernment. We hope to encounter you in our ministries and apostolates, on retreat or as a future priest, brother, lay oblate or associate living out the rich 900 year old spiritual tradition of the Order or Premontre.
