Retreat and Visitations

Job 29:2-3 and the Personal Guidance of God’s Light - “Basil the Great (c. 330–379) emphasized in his Hexaemeron that divine illumination is necessary for true understanding. He paralleled Job’s experience with that of every believer who walks in God’s wisdom, likening it to the soul’s ascent from darkness into divine knowledge.”

The monastery is currently undergoing internal renovation and will not accept guests for retreat until the New Year in 2026. Thank you for your patience and please keep our community in your blessed prayers.

Statement

of Faith:

Truly we believe in One God, God the Father, Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all things seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, True God of True God, begotten not created; Co-essential with the Father; by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became Man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; suffered and was buried; and on the third day He rose from the dead, according to the Scriptures; and ascended to the heavens; He sits at the right hand of the Father; and He is coming again in His glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who, with the Father and the Son, together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. And in One, Holy, Universal and Apostolic Church, we confess one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.
