Notre Dame Priory is a Roman Catholic Benedictine monastery in Colebrook, Tasmania, Australia, founded in 2017. The life of the community is in accordance with the Rule of Saint Benedict, and is centred around the traditional practice of prayer and work, as well as devotion to the traditional Latin Mass and Breviarium Monasticum.
History
The community was instituted as a private association of the faithful on 22 February 2017 by Fr Pius Mary Noonan O.S.B., formerly of Abbey Saint-Joseph de Clairval in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France, in the presence of Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, and was installed in a property in Lindisfarne. Later the same year, the first group of four novices received the habit, and in December the community received canonical recognition as a public association of the faithful. In 2018, the community purchased the Jerusalem Estate in Colebrook, and relocated there the following year.[1]
