New Home for Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem


The CRNJ have led an itinerant life almost since their foundation in the Diocese of La Crosse, WI, in 2002, moving the the now Cardinal Burke to the Archdiocese of St. Louis in 2004, and while some members moved to Rome for studies with their Norbertine confreres, to St. Michael's Norbertine Abbey in Silverado, CA. News has come of a more stable home granted to them by the Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston, WV. One of the smaller Institutes founded on the charism of the 1962 Liturgical Books, the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem has a specific charism rooted in one of the most ancient forms of clerical life.
