'''St. Gregory Palamas Monastery''' in Hayesville, Ohio, is a [[monastery ]] in the [[Mount Athos|Athonite]] tradition in the Diocese of Pittsburgh of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]].
The Monastery of Saint [[Gregory Palamas]] was established in 1982 by Metropolitan [[Maximos (Aghiorgoussis) of Pittsburgh|Maximos of Pittsburgh]]. The property was originally bought from a monastery belonging to the American branch of the [[Holy Synod in Resistance]], which essentially moved its own monastery by the same name to Etna, California. The previous residents had built their monastery on what had been a farm. It is located in the rural, wooded agricultural country of northeastern Ohio, about 15 miles east of Mansfield.
The main church of the monastery, built in what may be described as "Ohio Byzantine architecture," was consecrated in 1989 by Archbishop [[Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America|Iakovos]], who led the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America|Greek Archdiocese]] from 1959 to 1996. Services are conducted primarily in English.
The monastery also has a dependent [[skete]] for women located about a mile away, [[Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple Skete (Hayesville, Ohio)|Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple Skete]].
