Dear Friends,
The Norbertine Center for Spirituality and its accompanying Retreat House continues to be a vital apostolate of the Norbertine Order and a place for all faith traditions who desire to become more in touch with God, themselves and others. Hundreds of people from near and far join us for retreats, days and evenings of reflection, spiritual direction, days of renewal and our highly regarded programs. The Center is a beautiful, reflective environment that enhances any visit.
We believe in a holistic approach to life and by tending to your spiritual life, a positive impact can be made on your physical, emotional and mental life as well. So when you are in need of time away, renewal or nourishment you don’t have very far to go. Join us at the Spirituality Center and Retreat House—you are always welcome.
Rev. Conrad J. Kratz, O. Praem., Director

The Norbertine Center for Spirituality and Retreat House is located within St. Norbert Abbey, a distinguished landmark located in De Pere, Wisconsin. The Abbey is in the center of over 150 acres of both natural and landscaped beauty with charming cloister gardens within its walls. The church is a wonder, majestic and sacred. The famed stained glass windows are a study of the saints, liturgy, scripture, sacred symbols and light itself.
