By the mid-1940s, Holy Trinity Monastery was able to repay the mortgage for the house, finish the barn for 80 cattle, expand the dairy, gain another 200 acres of land, acquire all the needed farming equipment, and buy a linotype machine with a large, 16-station printing press, including Church Slavonic type. This allowed them, in 1946, the freedom to begin building a grand, golden-cupola'd stone [[cathedral]]. A key benefactor of this project, Professor Nikolai Nikolaevich Alexandrov, later joined the brotherhood.
[[Pochaev Lavra of the Dormition of the Theotokos|Pochaev Lavra]], having moved from Pochaev to Germany via Serbia, split in 1946. Some of the monks stayed in Germany, to form the [[Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev (Munich, Germany)|Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev]], while 14 of the monks moved, via Switzerland, to Holy Trinity Monastery. [[Hegumen]] Panteleimon ceases being [[abbot]], and [[Bishop]] [[Seraphim (Ivanov) of Chicago|Seraphim]], former abbot of Pochaev Lavra, replaces him as abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery. Bishop Seraphim resumes the publication of Orthodox Russia (Pravoslavnaya Rus), naming Hmk [[Konstantin (Zaitsev)]] as editor.
