Saint Petroc Monastery is a semi-eremitic monastic community for men in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia located in Cascades, Tasmania. In 1997 it became a ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia) establishment under the omophorion of His Grace Archbishop Hilarion (Kapral) of Sydney. The current superior is Hieromonk Michael, and the monastery has been assigned the task of attracting people of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic background to Orthodoxy using the Western Rite of the Orthodox Church.
The Monastery consists of two affiliated houses, Saint Petroc House with a small chapel, at Cascades and Holyrood House, with a small chapel at Avondale. The Monastery has the mechanism for creating attached monastery missions and parishes.
