Humility is the only thing we need; one can still fall having virtues other than humility -- but with humility one does not fall.

About the Monastery:   History | Abbots | Church Life | Daily Life | Obediences | Optina Chapel
Obediences
Holy Trinity Monastery has many activities and programs in which the monks are occupied. The main areas of obedience for both monks and seminarians throughout the year include work in the monastery printshop, book bindery, bookstore, kitchen, bakery, icon studio, as well as the general maintenance and household chores of our extensive property.

During the summer months the monks and seminarians also work in the garden, apiary, and in the upkeep of the monastery’s large cemeteries. Both the monks and seminarians assist in the regular order of services in the capacity of singers, readers and acolytes.

During the academic year, the seminarians are occupied with their studies while a number of the monks teach at the seminary. And finally, those monks with priestly orders perform the most valuable service by officiating in church services, administering the sacraments, and giving spiritual support to the faithful.
