"Absolutely a beautiful peaceful place to visit and reflect!"
"The most surreal place. Miracles do happen here. I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in March of 2016. A friend mentioned to me the monastery. I cane here first time in April of 2016. At my first scan after that there was no sign of cancer in my body. I had a 25% chance of survival. It’s been 7 years and I am still cancer free. I adore this pms E. The energy, the prayers, the clergy, everyone here makes me feel alive, happy and well. God is the healer. Your prayers will be answered here if you believe and come here with an open heart. Amen.She came here and"
"We stopped by briefly as we were passing by a couple of years ago..as I walked the grounds I felt for the first time in my life that I was home. I haven't forgotten that feeling and can't wait for the day we can go back!"
"Beautiful location to practice traditional Orthodox faith. The grounds have many mosaics, chapels, paths, and green spaces to enjoy. Services are beautiful with an amazing choir. Their seminary is a great place for interested people to learn about the history and traditions of the church. It's a great place to visit and feel peaceful."
"Beautiful place. We were visiting a friend near by, and he told us it was possible to go into the church. OMG! It's magical, I'm not orthodox, but I definitely felt welcomed."
