Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
The small seed of faith has been planted and, by the grace of God, our Monastery has become a humble reality! Thanks to the financial support of a good number of regular donors and with the desire to see this spiritual project materialize, we are now renting an Anglican Church House in a quiet and residential area in York (Jane and Lawrence). This is just the start we need until the day we can relocate the Monastery outside of Toronto. For the time being, this situation meets our needs and many people can more easily access the Monastery.
As of Sunday the 15th of April, 2007, we started having the Divine Liturgy at the Monastery Chapel every Sunday. We begin with Matins (Orthros) at 9:00 am followed by the Divine Liturgy around 10:15 am. Please arrive on time at least for the beginning of the Liturgy. We have other services at times; do consult our on-line schedule. If you wish, we will forward the information to you by e-mail.

We are located at 12 Blackstone Street in York. If you come from Highway 401, exit at Black Creek Drive (400 Barrie). From there, exit at Jane St. South (turn right), then at Lawrence Ave. West (turn left). Once on Lawrence West, you will find Blackstone St. at the first street light on your left. You can park on the street or right behind the monastery in the Anglican Church’s parking lot: please do not block the driveway.

Orthodox single men under the age of 40 who love the Lord and His Church are encouraged to prayerfully consider a vocation to monastic life with us and to communicate with
Archimandrite Nicolas at any time
to explore this possibility.


We humbly ask your prayers for the Monastery project that the Lord will guide us and give us the means and the monastics we need
to build His
"house of prayer for all Nations."
(Mark 11:17)

Iubiti Frati si Surori in Domnul,
Samanta credintei a fost sadita iar cu harul Domnului, manastirea noastra a inceput sa capete contur. Cu sprijinul financiar al mai multor crestini si cu dorinta fierbinte ca proiectul nostru spiritual sa se materializeze, am inchiriat o casa parohiala de la anglicani intr-o zona rezidentiala, linistita, in York, Toronto. Acesta este doar inceputul de care avem nevoie, pana cand vom reusi sa gasim pentru manastire o locatie definitiva, in afara Toronto-ului. Pentru moment, situatia raspunde nevoilor noastre iar credinciosii au acces mai usor la manastirea noastra.
Din data de 15 aprilie 2007, am inceput sa slujim Sfanta Liturghie in capela Manastirii, in fiecare Duminica. Dimineata la ora 9:00 am incepem Utrenia iar in jurul orei 10:15 am continuam cu Liturghia. Va rugam sa sositi la timp, cel putin la inceputul Sfintei Liturghii. Avem si alte slujbe in program, in acest sens va rugam sa consultati programul liturgic on line sau va putem furniza aceste detalii prin e-mail.
Locatia noastra este pe 12 Blackstone Street in York, Toronto. Daca veniti pe Highway 401, iesiti pe Black Creek Drive (400 Barie). De aici luati dreapta pe Jane Street spre sud iar la intersectia cu Lawrence Ave West faceti stanga. Pe Lawerence West veti gasi Blackstone la prima mare intersectie, pe stanga. Puteti parca pe strada langa manastire sau in parcarea Bisericii Anglicane din spatele manastirii. Va rugam sa nu blocati strada.
Indemnam pe credinciosii ortodocsi barbati sub 40 de ani care sunt singuri, care au dragoste de Dumnezeu si de biserica Sa, sa se gindeasca bine in adincul inimii lor la o posibila viata de manastire alaturi de noi si sa se adreseze oricind parintelui nostru Arhimandrit Nicolas pentru a cerceta impreuna aceasta posibilitate.
Cu smerenie va rugam sa aveti in sufletul si in rugaciunile fratiilor voastre proiectul acestei manastiri: rugati-va ca bunul Dumnezeu sa ne indrume, indrepteze si intareasca, sa ne dea mijloacele si calugarii de care avem nevoie pentru a construi Lui si noua "casa de rugaciune pentru toate neamurile"
( Marcu 11:17 ) .
