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.

Pascha_2023_50k_Challenge - $50,000.00
started 03/30/2023

We have a house, but we're not finished yet!

It's been AMAZING to see the new St. Nicholas House take shape over the past few months, and we are so very grateful to have secured a loan with the Orthodox Church Capital Improvement Fund (OCCIF). However, we still need a small amount of cash to pay all the bills that will come due in April, AND we need to begin the process of collecting the money that will pay off the OCCIF loan.

Once again, a small group of friends is offering a matching-donation challenge: they will match every dollar donated towards St. Nicholas House in April, up to $50,000!

The community around Holy Assumption Monastery has been incredibly supportive during this process, and the project still needs your participation. Can you finish Lent with a contribution towards St. Nicholas House? Celebrate Pascha with a donation? May the Lord send upon us His abundant mercies, as we strive to do His will.
