Dear Friends and Stewards of the Monastery, As we keep the radiant feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Church presents a mystery both sorrowful and joyful: death filled with life. The Mother of Life passes through death, yet death cannot hold her. She who bore Christ our Life is taken by her Son from this passing world into the fullness of His Kingdom. Her Dormition teaches us how a Christian is meant to die, and therefore how a Christian is meant to live.

With the help of pilgrims, the quonset canvas garage is constructed. This will house our tractor, bobcat, and the remaining tools from the outdated mobile homes so we can continue our site revival. This could also eventually become the monastery greenhouse. Additional projects are always emerging. Contact us to schedule a visit and lend your talents. “Let us rise up and build.” - Nehemiah 2:18
