The monastery, named for the Life-giving Trinity, hopes to start receiving pilgrims after Pascha.
Like many parishes throughout the country, Holy Theophany has been experiencing explosive growth lately, with more than 160 people being baptized in just two years from 2022 to 2024.
Though located in New York, the monastery is stavropegial, meaning it is directly under the omophorion of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.
The main events in his honor were celebrated in churches throughout the country over the weekend, with St. David’s feast on Saturday. The day before, an academic conference on the life and work of the great saint was held.
The services were celebrated under a canopy, with a makeshift iconostasis of icons on tripod stands set up in front of a huge pile of rubble.
