I had a very nice time at this monastery today. Incredible generosity and hospitality was shown to me during my visit. May God bless and keep you all.
Great place to pray and to feel the connection with God.
This is another place to find serenity soooo peaceful
:) there may be bears at night. The Fathers are so lovely to talk to and true men of God. I didn't email ahead to announce my visit, but was welcomed with wide open arms :) visitors who are new to the idea of monasteries please kindly note that it really isn't like a resort or mall: no one is here whose job is solely to greet and tour guide and man the gift shop. These are folks who spend all day every day in prayer and asceticism, in pursuit of the Holy Spirit. We caught the Fathers having some free time to lavish time on us, but rightly we should only have expected to use the churches for quiet prayers :) so don't be foolish like me and email ahead.
Great calming presence on consecrated ground at All Saints. The Theotokos Joy of Canada icon radiates holiness. A must visit for Christian believers.
