In 1932 and 1934, Abbot Pennings sent a handful of Norbertines to open Archmere Academy and Saint John Neumann High School. Responding to the vocations coming especially from these two schools, the community started a novitiate-seminary in Daylesford in 1954. In 1963, the Norbertine community moved from the Cassatt estate to Pinebrook, its present site. Thanks to the generous support of many friends, the Abbey church and residence buildings were completed in 1966.
