UPDATE: as the virus continues to spread throughout the brotherhood, services in church are now being limited to the Hours only and will NOT be live-streamed. The exception will be Great Vespers on Saturday night at 6:30pm and Hours & Liturgy on Sunday at 9:00am, both of which will be broadcast.
As of Thursday, July 29 multiple members of the brotherhood have tested positive for COVID-19 and almost everyone has fallen ill. Therefore Fr. Seraphim has decided to close the monastery to visitors temporarily, and unfortunately we will have to cancel the public celebration of St. Panteleimon's Day on August 8/9.
Because we are very shorthanded, we will also be closing the store through the end of this week. Orders can continue to be placed either online or via phone message, and will be fulfilled as quickly as possible beginning Tuesday, August 3.
Thank you for your understanding, and please keep us in your prayers during this time.
Unfortunately, due to the recent appearance of COVID-19 at the monastery, the celebration of St. Panteleimon's Day will have to be closed to the public this year. However, we will continue to live-stream the divine services online.
At the conclusion of the Liturgy there will be a special Festal Moleben to St. Panteleimon, as well as for eight days following the feast. We invite everyone to submit the names of those in need of his aid for commemoration during these services. Please use the form below to submit these names.
