Welcome to ​the Monastery

Living a simple life of contemplation,
the monks of the Hermitage of the Annunciation (est. 2004) are settled in the woods of Lunenburg County, off Goose Chase Rd.  
​
Following the age-old traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church,
they observe a daily rule of prayer, reading, study, and work, making their living with their hands from the forest and earth.
In the practice, the promise is fulfilled.” 
– St. Clement of Alexandria
Watch "Goosechase" by videographer David Veldman,
and follow the monks of the Hermitage of the Annunciation through their daily routine.
