The Abbot's Circle

A virtual monastery, open to you

A first-of-its-kind virtual monastery — an evolving, curated library offering an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work the Norbertines carry out each day for the praise and honor of Jesus Christ.

Immersed in the 900-year tradition of our order, the Norbertine Fathers live a common life of liturgical prayer and care for souls. Our abbey in Southern California is home to over sixty priests and more than forty seminarians studying for the priesthood.
