Welcome
Glory to Jesus Christ!
We are a Catholic Monastery of the Byzantine rite, under the jurisdiction of the the The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Nicholas in Chicago, and belonging to the Ukrainian Metropoly in the United States of America, which is in union with the Pope of Rome, supreme pastor of the universal Church. We embrace evangelical poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability of life, according to the Rule of Saint Benedict and the traditions of the Christian East.
In our skete at Jacob's Falls, on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, we devote ourselves to a common life of prayer and work for the praise, love, and service of God and for the upbuilding of His Kingdom through the Arts.
Troparion of Pentecost
Pentecost Sunday
Blessed are You, Christ our God,
who have filled the fishermen with wisdom
by sending down the Holy Spirit upon them
and who, through them,
have united the world.
Glory to You, O Lover of Mankind!

In the Gregorian Calendar, Pascha is Sunday April 12. See our Holy Week Schedule for a listing of service times. We also celebrate the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts every Wednesday and Friday at 4:30 pm during Lent. This is a very beautiful and moving service celebrated only during Great Lent and Holy Week. We celebrate in English, using music traditional to the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Weekend services are also open to the public. Please us if you are interested in coming at other times.
