Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Monastery (Kendalia, Texas)

Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Monastery is a monastic community for men in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It is located in Kendalia, Texas, and the spiritual father of the monastery is Elder Ephraim.
The community was founded in 1996 by eight Athonite monks who were called by their spiritual father, Elder Ephraim, former abbot of Philotheou on Mt Athos, to begin a monastery in America. The community is under the omophorion of His Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah of Denver. It remains at its original size of 8, with Archim. Dositheos as abbot.
The community consists of men living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life. Unlike on Mount Athos, both men and women are equally encouraged and welcome to visit as pilgrims. It is not uncommon to see men, women, and children attending Liturgy with the monks.
