Rooted in prayer and service, our communities follow the vision of St. Norbert – bringing Christ’s light to every corner of the world.
At the heart of our Norbertine vocation is a deep commitment to the spiritual nourishment of the faithful. Following the example of St. Norbert, we serve as a bridge between the monastery and the marketplace, providing sacramental care, spiritual direction, and liturgical leadership in local parishes. Our pastoral work is rooted in our life of common prayer, ensuring that the grace we receive in the living together is shared generously with the people of God in their daily lives.
We believe that the pursuit of truth is a sacred journey. Our educational apostolates span from primary schools to higher education, where we seek to form both the mind and the heart. By integrating rigorous academic standards with values and Norbertine hospitality, we empower students to become compassionate leaders. Our schools are more than institutions; they are communities where faith and reason meet to serve the common good.
Guided by the spirit of “communio,” our social service ministries are dedicated to upholding the dignity of every human person, especially the marginalized and those in need. Whether through food programs, counseling, or advocacy for the vulnerable, the Norbertine Fathers strive to be a healing presence in the world. We view our service not merely as charity, but as an expression of our fraternal life, reaching out to those who are often forgotten.
The Norbertine mission knows no borders. Through our abroad ministries, we extend our charism of reconciliation and community to international missions and developing regions. Our brothers serve globally to establish new foundations, support local churches, and provide essential resources to communities facing hardship. By sharing our life and faith across cultures, we witness to the universal nature of the Church and the enduring relevance of the Premonstratensian way of life.
The Norbertines of Mananthavady live a life of prayer and service, bringing Christ’s love through education, missions, and social outreach.
