About the Convent
Archbishop Ioasaph (Skorodumoff) founded the community in 1935 as a small brotherhood of men. In 1953 nuns who had left Shanghai after the Communist revolution took it over.
The convent stands on eighty acres of pine and birch beside a small lake, 106 km southwest of Edmonton.
Shop and Bookstore
The sisters sew vestments, make candles, and knit. The convent also has a bookstore and a small farm with cheese and eggs. Which of these go into the shop is still to be decided.
Donate
The convent is a registered Canadian charity (CRA). Gifts help the sisters keep the church, the grounds, and the community going.
