'''Convent of St. Silouan''' is a [[monastic]] community for women in Boscobel, Wisconsin , on the same property as [[St. Isaac of Syria Skete (Boscobel, Wisconsin)|St. Isaac of Syria Skete]].
The community was founded in August 1991, under the auspices of the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia ]] (ROCOR), and became a sister [[monastery]] to the St. Isaac of Syria Skete. Presently the sisterhood is located at St . Nicholas Orthodox Mission Church, but are looking to obtain their own property.
In 1999 St. Isaac of Syria Skete returned their [[antimens ]] to ROCOR. A short while later the skete, including St. Silouan, joined the [[Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Diocese of the USA, Canada and Australia]].
In 2009 the [[abbot ]] of the skete, Simeon Gitlis, was deposed by the Bulgarians, and they also withdrew their antimens. The community of St. Silouan is currently without a bishop.
The community works at St. Isaac's Bookstore, the mission, the school , and the library.
