Mission Statement: “We live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the traditions of Saints Norbert and Augustine. We live a common life “one in mind and heart on the way to God” through celebration of the Eucharist, liturgical prayer and service to the People of God.”

The Norbertines are a religious order of men, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who live a common life according to the Rule of St. Augustine. We welcome young men ages 18-40 to discern a vocation to Norbertine religious life and/or priesthood. Our vocation director, Fr. Johnathan Turba, O. Praem., strives to journey with vocation contacts, introducing them to Norbertine confreres and ministerial apostolates while answering questions about our common life.

Every religious order has its own charism or mission. The Capuchin-Franciscan charism is to build up relationships, inspired by Jesus’ gospel and Francis of Assisi’s example, as often as and wherever possible. This leads Capuchins to be involved in a great diversity of ministries, since every area of church life and ministry needs the healing touch of wholesome relationships. Capuchins are drawn strongly to the places and people whose relationships are particularly fragile and vulnerable. Thus, many Capuchins minister among poor and marginalized people.

Further, the needs of the poor and the demands of justice shape all Capuchin ministries. Capuchins work to promote the equality of all people within the Capuchin Order, the Catholic Church, and the world. In the words of Fr. Solanus Casey [1870-1957], a Detroit Capuchin who is being considered for sainthood, “To be children of God, we must be lovers of justice, truth, and peace.”

Our Diocese is blessed by the service of the Capuchin Franciscans in some of our parishes. If you are interested in learning more, contact the Midwest Capuchin Franciscans today!
