About the Monastery

The Convent of the Holy Dormition is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Diocese of Toronto of the Holy Orthodox Church of North America. Four mothers of the Holy Nativity Convent of Boston arrived during the first week of May, 2001 to establish the monastic community. The Convent is under the spiritual guidance of the Holy Transfiguration Monastery of Boston.

The Convent is located on 15 acres of rolling hills one hour away from downtown Toronto. The main building has room for a chapel, nine cells, two kitchens, two trapezas, a visitors' room, a guest room, an office and many workrooms. The second building houses a garage and a stable. There are two brook-fed small ponds stocked with fish and foot paths through the forest which surrounds the Convent. There are four monastics currently in residence.
