"Anima una et cor unum in Deum" - "One mind and one heart in God" is the motto of Santa María de la Vid Abbey, home to our community of Canons Regular of Prémontré in Albuquerque, NM. Continuing 900 years of Norbertine tradition, we live a life of community, contemplation, and compassionate service. Our Office of Christian Discipleship & Religious Vocation serves our community by way of young adult outreach.
Since our office’s beginning in June of 2015, our Abbey’s motto has guided our approach to outreach in our surrounding community. Why and how we seek to serve the young adults of Albuquerque and beyond is based on the very nature we share: the grace that we are relational beings, all called to and drawn toward community. This idea of community is, perhaps, best understood through our close and valued relationships with family and friends, but it is meant to be extended further, embracing of our neighbor and the community of the Holy Trinity.
Our Office of Christian Discipleship and Religious Vocation is dedicated to the evangelization, spiritual growth, and discipleship formation of young people in the Church. We offer our own programming and events, as well as support to young adult and campus ministries locally and around the country.
