After his horse was startled by a lightning bolt, the young nobleman, St. Norbert of Xanten, was thrown to the ground. He awoke with a vision that led him to renounce his appointment at high court, give away his wealth and set out to preach peace, reconciliation and church reform. He left a legacy that, within a century, would spread internationally, with hundreds of abbeys established from Ireland to the Holy Land. How is this relevant today to the liberal arts college that bears his name? Join Tom Kunkel, 2008-2017 President of St. Norbert College and the Rev. Andrew Ciferni, O.Praem., to learn about St. Norbert of Xanten (c.1080-1134) and discuss how his life and legacy continue to influence the mission and operations of St. Norbert College in the 21st century.
