Virgin Mary the Comforter Monastery — Local services in Brownsburg-Chatham

This is a True Orthodox Christian Monastery by word, deed, practice and way of life. The holy Sisterhood have such a profound presence of the Holy Spirit in them and are so immersed into the unceasing prayer state that, one can find immediate consolation, peace, joy and healing from any ailment. I visited the monastery in 2009. While I was there, I found out that my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was one step away from losing her life. It is through their prayers to the Theotokos the Consoler that my mother survived and found healing. The sisterhood prepared a package for my mother with holy myrrh and anointing oils, the miraculous icon of the Mother of God and sent it to my mother in Greece. Their love and care consoled my mother, my family that was devastated and myself. The miracle of healing and consolation happened for each one of us. Glory to God, His Most Holy Mother and their Living presence through this holy sisterhood! Amin✝️ The monastery is build with very hard toil and each stone of it is embellished in tearful prayers of humility and love for the whole mankind. As the Holy Scripture says:”Where your treasure is, there shall your heart be also.” This is a treasure in the very heart of Canada that breathes life to its people and shines God’s wisdom, compassion and consolation to those who seek it. An orthodox christian saying says:”If you die before you die, you shall not die when you die” - meaning that if we dont strive to purify our souls, minds and hearts, then all the evil passions we posses will be the reason that when we physically die then our soul will not find salvation but rather be buried eternally in gehena. So, let us follow the example of this sisterhood and beg our Loving God and His Most Holy Mother to purify us, sanctify us and grant us a christian ending of our journey on this earth. We can never know when our time is up, so prepare each day and wear the armour of faith, love and hope and as a Christ’s soldier fight the right fight, not that against the flesh but rather that of the powers of evil and its principalities. I convey to all the Holy Cenobic Sisterhood my family’s and my eternal gratitude !! May God sanctify you all and by your holy prayers may we all find...

A Sanctuary of Faith and Beauty

This Orthodox nuns’ monastery, founded by Elder Ephraim of Arizona, is a sacred haven nestled in the heart of nature. Every visit here is a spiritually enriching experience, where the serenity of the environment harmonizes with the deep devotion of the nuns. The nuns’ chanting resonates through the church like angelic voices, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere and making every service feel like a glimpse into heaven. You can truly feel the presence of the Mother of God in this holy place, which adds to the profound spiritual connection.

The monastery is also home to some of the finest cheeses I’ve ever tasted, a true testament to the nuns’ dedication and craftsmanship. Their icons are beautifully made, each one reflecting the profound spirituality of the community.

I have severe eczema on my hands. I have tried everything to clear it up. My Doctor prescribed me hydrocortizone steroid cream which does help some but it thins out my skin and I heard it is not the best thing for you. I have tried so many different products to heal my eczema because it is extremely painful especially in the winter time. It got to the point that I was embarassed to shake hands with someone as my hands were just covered in eczema and sometimes my skin would crack open and bleed as well.

A few years ago I got the non-scented Olive oil liquid soap from the Monastery, I just wet my hands, use a pea-sized amount of the soap, and lather it for 30 seconds per day, and it completely cleared my eczema! I have reordered the soap since. I am very thankful for the Sisters at the Monastery who made such a wonderful and helpful product. I highly...
