Celebrating 10 years as an independent Canonry of the Order

Our Holy Father Norbert, patriarch of the Premonstratensians.

DEO OPTIMO MAXIMO

FONTI OMNIPOTENTI GRATIAE ET BENEDICTIONIS

FRATRES CANONIAE PRAEMONSTRATENSIS CAESAROMAGI

DECADE JAM PERACTA A FUNDATIONE CANONICA

GRATIAS DEVOTE AGUNT

ET SANCTIS PATRIBUS AUGUSTINO ET NORBERTO

SANCTISSIMAQUE VIRGINE MATRE INTERCEDENTIBUS

SUPPLICES DOMINUM DEPRECANTUR

UT AD SALUTEM ANIMARUM NECNON CONVERSIONEM PATRIAE AD FIDEM CATHOLICAM

SEMPER LABORENT IN TERRIS

UT AD BEATITUDINEM CAELESTEM FELICITER PERVENIANT IN CAELIS

UBI AMICTIS STOLIS ALBIS CHRISTUM AGNUM IMMOLATUM

CUM OMNIBUS SANCTIS SEQUANTUR

ET UNA VOCE DIVINUM HYMNUM LAUDIS ILLI CANTENT

PER OMNIA SAECULA SAECULORUM

AMEN

To God, the Greatest and Highest, the Almighty Fount of every grace and blessing, the confreres of the Premonstratensian Canonry of Chelmsford devoutly offer thanks, a decade having now passed since their canonical foundation, and, with their Holy Fathers Augustine and Norbert and the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God interceding, they humbly beseech the Lord that they might always work here on earth for the salvation of souls and for the conversion of their country to the Catholic Faith, so as to attain happily to the celestial bliss of heaven, where, clad in robes of white, they might follow Christ the Lamb who was slain with all the Saints, and with one voice sing to Him a divine hymn of praise, for ever, for ages unending. Amen.
