St Anthony's Monastery Florence, Arizona

In 1995 six monks were sent to the Sonoran Desert to establish a new monastery; St. Anthony's emerged out of the desert. Most of the resident monks are Greek and Greek-American. The produce grown on the grounds provide healthy food for the resident monks.

Το άγονο της ερήμου η Ορθοδοξία το μετατρέπει σε επίγειο Παράδεισο. Άγιε γέροντα του Θεού Εφραίμ πρέσβευε υπέρ ημών.

No thank you. I agree with a priest I know. So much money being put into American monasteries. They live like kings and queens compared to the homeless that we are to take care of. Also, not everything Fr. Ephraim did was right in guiding some he was a spiritual father too.
