==History==
In 2009, two Orthodox Priests, V. Rev. Fr. Peter-Michael Preble from St. Michael Orthodox Christian Church in Southbridge, MA Massachusetts and The Rev. Fr. Kenneth M. DeVoie from [http://www.emmanuelorthodox.org Emmanuel Orthodox Catholic Church] (a parish of the [[Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate]]) in Warren, MA Massachusetts met to share a common vision to establish a Pan-Orthodox Monastic community in the heart of Central Massachusetts (New England). The vision took flight. Fr. Peter petitioned and received permission from Archbishop Nicolae to proceed; he was soon tonsured as a monk at [[St. Dumitru Retreat and Monastic Center (Middletown, New York)]] by Archbishop Nicolae . Simultaneously, Fr. Ken petitioned Metropolitan Philip of the Antiochian Archdiocese, who also granted him permission to proceed.
The monastery, along with the [[Orthodox Center for Church Growth & Evangelism]] is still in the early stages of formation. All those interested in partnering to establish the monastery and center, should contact the Monastery directly.
