Blessed is our God, now and ever, and unto ages of ages!
God has blessed the founding of our new men's Orthodox Christian Monastery, under the protection of St. Demetrios of Thessaloniki and the direction of Metropolitan Jonah. Our monastic brotherhood found a home in Spotsylvania, VA, at the beginning of October 2020 after a successful funding drive. We have since expanded to 9 men.
In addition to our community prayers, we regularly attend St. Herman of Alaska Church, in nearby Stafford, VA and St. Anna's Church in Louisa County. We have developed a full daily cycle of services, frequent Liturgies, and are working to plan and develop monastery industries. We are grateful to all who have furthered our development, and invite you to join with our supporters through both your prayers and through your financial generosity!
