After more than 50 years of transforming high school boys into well prepared Catholic young men, St. Michael’s Preparatory School will be closing its doors after the 2019-2020 school year, in anticipation of the move to our new abbey home. Our community will continue to participate actively in the numerous apostolates we are currently serving in. This transition calls us particularly to re-focus our efforts on educating our 40 current (and future) seminarians, in the spirit of our founder and great reformer of the Church, St. Norbert. Yes, God has blessed us greatly and we move onward continuing to trust in His holy will for us.
