The monastery is located in South-Central Michigan, 7 miles North of Jackson, in the small farming community of Rives Junction, on 49 acres of wooded land with an array of wildlife.

The monastery was founded by three nuns from Romania, in a desire to pursue missionary work and spread Orthodoxy further into America.  This vision had to be fulfilled through a monastic structure; not by importing or recreating a glorious past, but by drawing on the traditions of the past that keep alive the Orthodox faith.

The purpose of the monastery is to serve the needs of the Orthodox community.  Visitors and groups are welcome to visit the monastery for the day or for overnight stays.  For details on how to arrange a visit please click on Hospitality.
