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]
