Great Lent 2025
As we enter the Great Fast, the Church calls us to a season of repentance, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving - a time to return to the heart and draw nearer to Christ. Great Lent invites us into holy stillness, simplicity, and renewed watchfulness, preparing us as we journey toward the joy of Pascha.
All are welcome to join us in prayer during this most sacred time.

...but to serve, and give His Life as a ransom for many.
"Let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

Our Mission
Glory to Jesus Christ!
In our monastery 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.
We are a Catholic Monastery of the Byzantine rite, under the jurisdiction of The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Nicholas in Chicago.
We belong 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 traditions of the Christian East.
