Daylesford Abbey's Mission Statement draws from that of the Order:
Daylesford Abbey exists to enrich the church by our Norbertine communio nourished by contemplation on God's Word, made visible in worship and service within the local church.
Vision Statement of the Order of Prémontré accepted and approved by the General Chapter 2006
Drawn by our merciful and Triune God, we are called as baptized to follow the poor and risen Christ in a radical and apostolic way of life according to the Gospel, the Rule of Saint Augustine and the charism of Saint Norbert, the founder of our Premonstratensian Order.
Our way of life is marked by:
A lifelong seeking after God through fraternal community, a never-ending conversion by giving ourselves to the church of our profession in com- munion with the self-emptying of Christ, in imitation of Mary pondering God's Word, and in ceaseless prayer and service at the altar.
From the choir and altar we go to serve the human family in a spirit of simplicity, hospitality, reconciliation and peace for the benefit of the Church and the world, especially where Christ is found among the poor, the suffering, and among those who do not know him.
We pray that what God's Spirit has begun in us may be made perfect in the day of Christ Jesus.
