Trapeza Construction Begun

imageArchpriest David Moser arrived at the Monastery on the evening of Sunday, August 21st, together with a volunteer crew from Boise, Idaho, to begin construction of the Monastery’s trapeza building. Working from early in the morning until dusk, Monday through Friday, the four put up the walls and roof of the trapeza. This building will house the dining hall, together with the Monastery’s kitchen, and two public bathroons. Traveling with Father David from Boise were Andrew Childs, a professional contractor, Steven Brooke, also a professional builder, and 15 year old Arseniy Bashirov.

The holy brotherhood will be eternally grateful to these four kind and generous individuals for their labors. May the Lord richly bless them for their kindness and generosity extended to the monks.

Architectural Drawings

We are grateful to islander, Brian Fisher of Presentation Arts, for the drawings shown on this page, thus allowing us to show our friends and benefactors what the Monastery will look like when completed. Presently the church and library, together with the smaller monastic cell (seen in the upper right hand corner) are completed. The gardens are as seen in this drawing, as is the St. John the Wonderworker Chapel in the upper left corner. The three monastic cells now under construction are on the right. Yet to be completed is the dining hall (Trapeza) and kitchen (directly in front of the church) and the bookstore (the two storied building) which will also house the shipping and handling for our coffee business, as well as offices for the community. At the present time we still have many volunteers who stand in wait for the next phase of the project, the building of the Trapeza.  Funds are needed for the building supplies and construction materials. Your donation will go a long way, given the donated labor we are receiving.  God bless all of you for your generosity towards this holy cause.
