On the Feast of St. John of Krondstadt the Abbot of the Monastery and sisters of the Skete of St. Elizabeth celebrated an early morning Divine Liturgy at the chapel in the Monastery forest dedicated to the Saint (and his patron St. John of Rila). Despite the freezing temperature, 27 degrees (the church is not heated and without electricity) we thank God that in this modest way we were able to glorify the Saint's memory and the church dedicated to his name.
The sisters prepared a festive breakfast at their Skete for the Abbot and women attending the service.

 | Feast Day of the Holy Apostle Luke - 10/30/10
On October 30 - 31 when the Holy Church celebrates the memory of the Holy Apostle Luke, our monastery was visited with the Myrrh Streaming Hawaii Icon, His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion, pilgrims from the St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church in Washington DC and the wife of the murdered missionary priest Daniel Sysoev in Russia.
On Saturday at 3PM a pannykhida was served in memory of Br. Joseph, the keeper of the Iveron myrrh streaming icon, who was murdered in 2007.
His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion served vigil and all with much reverence and joy venerated the myrrstreaming icon of the Mother of God from Hawai.
On Sunday His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion ordained Hierodeacon Gabriel to the priesthood for the needs of the monastery. At the end of the Liturgy His Eminence congratulated the Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery, Archimandrite Luke on his name's day and wished him much strength and wisdom to continue his difficult duties as Abbot. He congragulated the newly ordained Hieromonk Gabriel and thanked God for the blessing of having the myrrhstreaming icon of the mother of God visit the monastery on the anniversary of the death of Br. Joseph. This icon from Hawai by God's providence began to stream myrrh a number of years ago and has since been a comfort and support to those who turn to the Mother of God in faith and humility.
At 2:30PM a video was shown about the life of the Priest Daniel Sysoev and at the end his wife Julia answered questions about her husband.
Another Pannykhida was served after the video presentation at the graveside of Br. Joseph after which the pilgrims from Washington departed.
We thank God for such blessings to visit our monastery.

 | Summer Youth Program 2010 - 07/17/10
Holy Trinity Summer Youth Program 2010 report
by Ephraim Willmarth, Program Coordinator
From June 27 to July 17, 2010, Holy Trinity Monastery
conducted the summer youth program for the second year since its
reinstatement. Nine boys ages fourteen to seventeen participated, which
was a larger group than the previous year. They came from both nearby
New York and New Jersey, and from far and wide, including Virginia,
Michigan, Colorado, and Ontario, Canada. They lived at Holy Trinity
Monastery for three weeks, keeping a schedule similar to that of
seminarians. They prayed with the monastic brotherhood daily, served in
the altar, shared common meals, and helped at various monastery
obediences. In addition, there was time for play, with sports,
swimming, and official outings such as a trip to underground caves and a
ride on a historic railroad.
The boys had the opportunity to become familiar with the members of the
monastic brotherhood. They listened to stories about several of the
notable monks who have reposed, as told by Protodeacon Victor Lochmatow,
who knew them all personally. The boys participated in discussions and
lectures daily about spiritual, moral, and practical topics relevant to
their lives. These were led by visiting white clergy and monastic
clergy from the monastery.
In spite of somewhat different cultural backgrounds, and the fact that
most of these boys had never met each other before, the group was united
by a desire to be at Holy Trinity Monastery, and by their common faith.
They made a manly effort to keep the schedule and did diligent work.
Members of the brotherhood had only positive comments about their
willingness to work and their good behavior in the altar. The boys
themselves commented positively about the program, and expressed a
desire to return next year.
