On Sept. 8, 1985, St. Norbert Abbey (De Pere) created a permanent foundation in Albuquerque, to be known as Santa María de la Vid Priory. The name means “Our Lady of the Vine.”

 

Delaware
Originally created at Claymont, Del., by confreres from St. Norbert Abbey in De Pere, Claymont was associated for some time with Daylesford Abbey. Since 1997, however, it has been an independent priory. In 2004 the priory was transferred to a new location on Bayview Road in Middletown, Del.

Pennsylvania
In 1932 and 1934, Abbot Pennings sent a handful of Norbertines to open Archmere Academy and Saint John Neumann High School. Responding to the vocations coming especially from these two schools, the community started a novitiate-seminary in Daylesford in 1954. In 1963, the Norbertine community moved from the Cassatt estate to Pinebrook, its present site. Thanks to the generous support of many friends, the Abbey church and residence buildings were completed in 1966.

California
This monastic community and novitiate began in 1958. In 1976, St. Michael’s became fully autonomous as an independent priory of the order. In 1984, Rome approved the elevation of the community to abbatial status.
Tehachapi*
Tehachapi was founded in May of 2000 and located in Fresno, Calif.

Mississippi
St. Moses the Black was founded in 1990 at St. Mary’s parish in Jackson, Miss. Later, a priory was built in Raymond, Miss., and the community moved there. The mission of the community is to work with African-Americans and to seek reconciliation between blacks and whites.
