Premonstratensians

Premonstratensians, also known as Norbertines, are a religious order founded in the 12th century by Saint Norbert of Xanten. They follow the Rule of Saint Augustine and emphasize community living, prayer, and service. Their mission includes promoting liturgical worship, education, and pastoral care. Premonstratensians can be recognized by their distinctive habit, often white with a black cloak. They primarily live in abbeys and engage in various forms of ministry while striving for a balance of contemplative and active life. The order has a presence in several countries, continuing its mission in a modern context.
