Vespers 2025
A Pilgrimage Toward the Light
The pilgrimage culminates at Solemn Vespers on the Feast of St. Michael (Sept. 29). At the Magnificat, the abbey church is bathed in heavenly light as the rose window shines upon the altar. Together, the canons and the faithful recite the renewal of consecration to St. Michael the Archangel.

Explore the Abbot's Circle

Each day, the Norbertine canons labor at the altar and in their apostolic ministries, and the Abbot’s Circle website exists to share the fruits of that life with the wider Church.

On the site, you’ll find:

Exclusive Reflections
from the canons on faith, prayer, and spiritual life.
In-depth Interviews
with leading voices in the Church.
Formative Series
to help Catholics grow in wisdom and holiness.

The Abbot’s Circle is not a program or subscription you join here — it is an ongoing offering of spiritual riches, a place where the faithful can draw closer to Christ and remain united to the life of the abbey.
