Welcome to the Monastery Website

Welcome to the website for Holy Ascension Monastery, the spiritual center of our Metropolis. The monastery is located in Bearsville, NY, nestled in the majestic Catskill Mountains. We invite you to explore our site. We would like to especially point out the information regarding the construction of the monastery's new Catholicon, which can be found under the "Hagia Sophia" menu item.

The monastery does welcome visitors. If you desire to make a visit to our monastery, please go to the "Visits" page for more information, and be sure to contact us beforehand.

We will be updating this website over the coming weeks, so be sure to check back soon to see what has been added. Please note the new images that have been added to the "Hagia Sophia" page, including images of the beginning of the foundation for the new Catholicon, which has recently been started.
