COME ENCOUNTER OUR JOURNEY INTO GOD
The Abbey Prepares for Phase IV of Building Plan
As the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré (the Norbertines) approaches its 900th anniversary in 2021, we, here are Santa Maria de la Vid Abbey, have begun planning for the growing needs of the people we serve. The fourth phase of our Abbey’s expansion is now in the planning stages.

Featured Events
How do we live as people of faith in a world where many choose to tear down, divide, and foster fear? As J. Philip Newell writes, “We may not know what the answers are, but we know that expressing our deepest longings for Presence and for connection is a key to the way forward.” This day of meditative writing is an opportunity to consider how we are being called—individually and collectively—to contribute to the healing of our world. The offering for the retreat day is $55.00, which includes lunch. All are welcome to participate—no writing experience is necessary. Please register by Tuesday, Jan. 21
