Located in Pass Christian, Mississippi, the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene is a women's monastery in the Western Rite of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), under Metropolitan Nicholas.
With the blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, the convent was formed in 2017, under the spiritual direction of Hieromonk Ezekiel (Vieages). In 2021 by the grace of Metropolitan Hilarion, the convent was moved to Mississippi to be established there and was incorporated there as a nonprofit. In 2022, we received a 24-acre piece of property. We need to design and build a house on that site as well as do site planning for future building. |
