Center for Norbertine Studies | St. Norbert College (original) (raw)

For almost nine centuries, the Canons Regular of Prémontré have followed the example of St. Norbert in serving church and society as contemplatives in action. Abbot Bernard Pennings and his confreres brought the Norbertine charism to Wisconsin over a century ago, and ever since it has nourished the growth and life of our campus community.

The Center for Norbertine Studies strives to explore, in collaboration with Norbertines throughout the world, how this precious heritage, so rich in its cultural expression and influence down through the centuries and in today’s diverse global community, can inform and help shape spiritual, intellectual and cultural life on our campus.About the Center for Norbertine Studies
