Monastery News

Although the brotherhood has already been using the new church for half a year, work continues to bring it fully to completion. Since our last newsletter, the cupolas and crosses have been successfully placed atop the domes of the church as well as the belltower, finally bringing the exterior of the church to completion.

By the grace of God, in the past year we have gotten significantly closer to completing the new church. In particular, the new trapeza (monastic dining hall) and kitchen on the lower level are nearly finished, with the plumbers and electricians installing the commercial kitchen equipment at the time of this writing.

By God’s grace, the construction of our new monastery church has continued to go extremely well. Since our last newsletter, we have finished installing the beautiful Douglas fir timber ceilings (on both the main church as well as the porch), plastered and painted the exterior walls of the church, installed the windows as well as a number of bells in the bell-tower, and lastly, built and erected both of the domes.
