The
Monastery is a place where Christian souls
that desire to dedicate themselves totally
to God take refuge, occupy themselves
constantly with God, pray unceasingly, and
glorify His Name while simultaneously they
cleanse themselves internally and strive to
become holy.
The
Monastery is dedicated to the Spirit of the
memory eternal of the Holy Apostle St.
Andrew, one of the first called evangelists
to the people.
The Monastery is located in rural Northern
Colorado. It is located in a peaceful wooded
setting. It is a place appropriate for
prayer. The Monastery was established in
1998 and includes a private residence for
the monastics, chapel, dinning hall, a
workshop for making of religious items such
as chotkis, rosaries, other hand made items
and crafts.
