Our Community

Welcome to the Orthodox Monastery of Saint Brigid, a community of prayer, devotion, and open-hearted welcome. Rooted in the richness of the Orthodox Christian tradition, we honor Saint Brigid as our patron, following her example of compassion, wisdom, and spiritual care.

​

Our dispersed community allows monks and nuns to live according to their own circumstances while fully participating in the life of the monastery through daily prayer, spiritual formation, and seasonal gatherings. Whether you are discerning monastic life for the first time or seeking a deepening of your vocation, we offer guidance, support, and formation grounded in Orthodox tradition.

​

At the heart of our life is an ethos of genuine inclusivity: all are received without condition, and every person—regardless of gender, sexuality, or background—is welcomed to the fullness of participation in prayer, liturgy, and community life. Our theological approach reflects this, drawing on the wisdom of the early Desert Mothers and Fathers, the patristic tradition, and the ongoing witness of Orthodox monasticism.
