May 2, 2021, the Feast of Feasts: GREAT & HOLY PASCHA
Christ is risen! May we all live in the joy of our Lord’s Resurrection
throughout Bright Week, the Paschal Season, and all our lives!
An Orthodox Christian Monastery for Women
From its home on the banks of the Napa River in Calistoga, California,
Holy Assumption Monastery welcomes faithful pilgrims and visitors of all backgrounds.
Please use our website to learn about our community, explore Orthodox Christianity and its monastic tradition,
and find out about events at the monastery.
Holy Assumption Monastery is part of the Orthodox Church in America's Diocese of San Francisco and the West,
under the omophorion of His Eminence, Archbishop BENJAMIN.
The fundraising to rebuild St. Nicholas House is off to a great start in 2021, and the sisters are excited to share the news that we have $50,000 pledged for a matching-donation campaign in the month of May.
Help us turn $50,000 into $100,000 this month! This will be a huge boost towards our goal of $235,000 this year. Every contribution is important!
$50,000.00
Some generous donors have offered to match gifts for St. Nicholas House in May 2021, up to $50,000! Help us meet this challenge by donating this month, and sharing the news with friends! This will be a big step towards our target of $235,000 by the end of 2021!
