The Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Monastery in Kendalia, Texas, marked 30 years since its founding with services on November 7 and 8. Orthodox Christians gathered at the monastery, north of San Antonio, for its annual feast honoring the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Abbot Dositheos and the monks invited worshippers to join the two-day celebration with the blessing of Metropolitan Constantine of Denver. Guests and church chanters from Greece also took part in the services.
Elder Ephraim founded Holy Archangels in 1996 with the blessing of Metropolitan Isaiah. The men’s monastery is part of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Denver. Its abbot, Dositheos, studied under Saint Paisios on Mount Athos before leading the monastic community in Kendalia.
Metropolitan Constantine issued a message for the 30th anniversary, which the monastery published on its website.
