All of you are part of a global movement that is showcasing the Church at its best and extending the joy of Christ to others.
Our recent celebration of Michaelmas was a magnificent joy. Our abbey welcomed pilgrims from around the world, and we were joined in prayer by tens of thousands of faithful men and women who encountered the radiance of Christ. Truly, this was a foretaste of heaven.
Celebrations like this show the abbey--and, indeed the whole Church--at its best. And these triumphs are only possible though the grace of God and by the prayers and support of Abbot's Circle members like you. Thank you.
The Abbot's Circle is a first-of-its-kind virtual monastery—an evolving, curated library that offers an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work that the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey carry out each day for the praise and honor of God.
Hidden in the stillness of southern California’s desert mountains, St. Michael’s Abbey goes about a timeless and supernatural mission: the common worship of God. This is a place for all to encounter the unfathomable beauty of God and to enter into the mystery of His unrelenting love.
Against a culture in ever desperate need for beauty, St. Michael’s Abbey stands as a refuge for reverent liturgy, inspiring art, and captivating sacred music and chant. Through our work, we are laying the foundation for the sanctification of our society and a renewal in our Church.
