Monastery Projects

If you visit the monastery, you will see that we are currently working on several major projects.

We thank God for the continued interest and support of the faithful of our monastic communities.  While we strive to support ourselves for our daily needs as much as possible, when it comes to building and embellishing our dwellings and places of worship we depend on your love and generosity.
A NEW MONASTIC CLOISTER

After many months of careful planning, we are well underway with the construction of a traditional monastic cloister.

The cloister will be styled following the example of many traditional monastic enclosures. With room for 26 monks, it will have room for growth for the future in a private monastic environment. Current existing buildings will provide reception areas, guest rooms, a library, and offices.

ICONOGRAPHY FOR OUR MONASTERY CATHOLICON

Through the generosity of the faithful the iconography of the catholicon has been paid for and completed.

Installing church icons at Saint John of San Francisco Monastery

God willing, the final icons for the catholicon will be installed in the middle of June in time for our feast day on July 1.

May the Holy Trinity bless all the faithful who contributed to this project through St. john’s prayers.

The next project will be the adornment of the two side chapels dedicated to the New Confessors St. Philaret, Metropolitan of New York and St. Gylcherie, Metropolitan of Romania.

A NEW CEMETERY

Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery has established a cemetery where the faithful of the Metropolis can be buried.

Orthodox Christians have always had a great love for monasticism. The faithful that are buried here are perpetually commemorated during the daily cycle of services.

The Divine Liturgy is served regularly and the hieromonks serve a memorial service for the reposed daily.

Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary

The New Seminary is thriving.

The specific objectives of the Seminary are to ensure that its students graduate with a thorough knowledge and accurate comprehension of the primacy of Scripture and its expression in, and concord with, the teachings of the Church Fathers, Holy Tradition, and the sacred doctrines of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The seminary frequently posts public lectures, conferences, and informal interviews on their YouTube channel.
