Welcome to the Website of St. Albert's Priory

P1020440.JPG

Our community is a house of formation for young men who have come to discern their vocation as consecrated religious following the unique charism of Saint Dominic de Guzman.  Founded in 1216, the Order of Preachers has served the Roman Catholic Church for 800 years, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in and out of season.  Our patron, St. Albert, was a thirteenth century scientist, philosopher, and theologian.  He is called "the Great" because he was proficient in every branch of learning cultivated in his day.  

On this website you'll find a short history of the Priory and our Province, news of recent and upcoming events, a photo tour, student blog, schedule of liturgies you are welcome to join, links to websites of interest, and a means of contacting our guestmaster if you'd like to arrange a retreat with us.
