== History ==
New Skete's history begins in 1966 with a group of [[Eastern Rite Catholic|Byzantine Rite Catholic]] Franciscan monks [[monk]]s who, left the Fransiscan Order to set up a more authentically Byzantine house. In 1969 a group of [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] "Poor Clares" (Fransiscan nuns[[nun]]s) joined them, becoming a sister [[monastic ]] house. In 1979, after a period of [[prayer ]] and study, the monks and nuns of New Skete were received into the [[Orthodox Church in America]]. In 1983 a group of married couples and widows joined the New Skete communities, forming what has become known as the '''Companions''' of New Skete.
The monks, the nuns, and the companions, each have separate houses, but gather together regularly for prayer in the Monastery Churchmonastery church.
The New Skete Communities accept retreatants and ; recently an OCA [[parish ]] has formed which worships at the monastery. In addition, the monks receive income from the breeding of German Shepherd dogs and the training of dogs of all breeds. The nuns receive income from baking cheesecakes. There is also an [[iconographer ]] among the nuns.
