Monastic penance, anyone?

From the Green Bay (WI) News-Chronicle:
The victim said the attacks occurred in the hot tub at the St. Norbert Abbey in August or September of 1988, when he was 14 years old.

Why would an abbey have a hot tub? Did they have a wide-spread problem with arthritis? My uncle got my aunt one for that? I get the impression, however, that impaired mobility and stiff joints were not among the problems at this abbey.

A hot tub? In a monastery? Somehow, I doubt this was what St. Norbert had in mind with his "Spiritus iugis paenitentiae"... Must have lost something in the translation.
