Who We Are
Welcome to the Norbertine Canons of Queens Park.
We are a community of Catholic priests and brothers called by Christ to live, pray, and serve together in faith and fraternity.
Our story began over 860 years ago in Prémontré, France, when Saint Norbert founded our Order in 1120.
From there, our tradition grew through Tongerlo Abbey in Belgium and later to Kilnacrott, eventually reaching Australia.
Today, we continue that same mission here in Queens Park.
Our Way of Life
As Norbertines, we live in community. We pray together, celebrate the Eucharist together, and share our daily life as brothers.
Inspired by the Rule of Saint Augustine, we seek to be “of one mind and one heart on the way to God.”
Living in common means supporting one another, growing in faith together, and committing ourselves to ongoing conversion and spiritual growth.
Prayer at the Heart
Prayer and worship are central to everything we do. The Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours shape our day and nourish our ministry.
From this shared prayer life, we draw strength to serve others.
Our Mission
Following the example of Saint Norbert, we are dedicated to bringing Christ to the people of God.
We serve through parish ministry, education, and other apostolic works, always open to the needs of the Church today.
Inspired by Mary, our Mother, and guided by our founder, we devote our lives and resources to continuing the work of the Lord.
........we have said Yes to Christ's call.
