Starting on the first Sunday of Advent 2020 and continuing until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord 2022, the Norbertine Order will observe the celebration of the 900th anniversary of its foundation by St. Norbert on Christmas Day 1121.  With the motto “Nativitas Domini, Nativitas Ordinis”—“The Birth of the Lord, the Birth of the Order”—individual Norbertine communities throughout the world and the entire Norbertine Order will celebrate this auspicious event.

St Michael’s Abbey will particularly observe the jubilee with events leading up to the dedication of its new abbey church and complex, scheduled for May 2021.
