Norbertine Sisters in America
A wonderful documentary highlights a special vocation
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Saturday, March 05, 2011 2:40 PM
Recently, my home diocese welcomed several new Norbertine Sisters. Today, I’d like to share with you a wonderful documentary created by KNXT TV, where I am humbled to serve as a volunteer and on the board of directors. In this documentary, which has been split into two parts, you will learn about the order and meet some of the individual nuns who make up our local Norbertines. I know you will fall in love with them! This documentary is also a great way to share the life of a sister with the young girls in your life, who will see that the call to consecrated life comes in many forms.
Here’s a brief description of the documentary:
KNXT presents “Norbertine Sisters in Americas.” This documentary highlights the Sisters of the Canonry of the Bethlehem Priory of St. Joseph in Tehachapi, Calif. They live at their 470-acre monastery in the Tehachapi Mountains following the Norbertine dedication to the liturgical life of choir, office and Mass. Currently there are 20 Sisters that live a cloistered life at their monastery led by the Prioress, Mother Mary Augustine, who has been the Superior of the community since their founding by St. Michael’s Abbey, their mother abbey, back in 1997. The Sisters support their way of life by producing hand-made sacred and other items, such as priest vestments and other sewn goods, rosaries and greeting cards and Christmas wreaths. They are also exploring other means of support, including artisan cheese products, which they hope to sell in the future.
