Notre Dame Priory
Is a Public Association of the Faithful living the traditional Benedictine monastic life, located in the Archdiocese of Hobart, Australia. Devotion to the ancient Latin liturgy is central to their charism, as well as the Spiritual Exercises retreat, which is their main apostolate. Working towards being established as an autonomous monastery, they hope one day to construct a permanent monastery in a timeless style, something beautiful for God, to last many generations.
