Paracletos – The Holy Spirit

The Monastery is a place where Christian souls that desire to dedicate themselves totally to God take refuge, occupy themselves constantly with God, pray unceasingly, and glorify His Name while simultaneously they cleanse themselves internally and strive to become holy.

The Monastery is dedicated to the Spirit of the Paracletos. Paracletos was named by Christ the third person of the Holy Trinity. “But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to Me.”(John 15:26)

The Monastery is located just south of Anderson, SC in Antreville. It is located in a peaceful wooded rural setting. It is a place appropriate for prayer. The Monastery was established in 2004 and will soon include a private residence for the nuns, a Cathedral, chapels, dinning hall, a public guest house, a vineyard and winery, farm animals and barn, and workshop for making of religious items such as icons. There will also be numerous small chapels.
