About Us
Our Holy Monastery of Virgin Mary the Consolatory is the first Greek Orthodox monastery in Quebec, under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Canada. Founded in 1993 by Elder Ephraim, a disciple of Saint Joseph the Hesychast, our monastery holds a rich spiritual heritage in the Orthodox faith and monasticism. Initially established in difficult conditions, two nuns migrated from a historic monastery in Greece to transform an old farm into a place of divine devotion and tranquility.
Located in the breathtaking Laurentians, our monastery covers 235 acres of dense forest. The property, once in ruins, has been meticulously restored through the loving sacrifice and hard work of our growing sisterhood and dedicated volunteers. Today, guided by Abbess Thekla, our community of 27 nuns engages in farm-agricultural work, cheese making, and handcrafting, while warmly welcoming visitors and embracing the teachings of Christ.
Come and witness the transformed beauty of our monastery, experience the serenity it offers, and immerse yourself in our Orthodox traditions.

Beautiful
Typically Slavic icons lean more realistic, however these "Russian style" icons offered here are very much in the Byzantine tradition but with a slightly different look that I appreciate. I don't if they can be considered "Russian", but I like the style more than the Greek, even if they are very similar. This is my 3rd Russian icon from the sisters and their work is great, speedy, and their communication is superb.
May God bless them, grow their convent and bless and renew their province of Quebec.
