About the Monastery

Located in the heart of the Lower East Side of New York City, Mercy House ministers to the poor and homeless. Mercy House provides food and clothes distribution to local homeless shelters.

A small congregation worships regularly with the monastics (upwards of 30 people on a regular basis), and English is the predominant language of worship (though some Slavonic, Greek, Spanish, Romanian, etc. is used when the constuency warrants it.) A monastic daily cycle of services is kept following the usage and practice of the Russian Orthodox tradition. There are currently three hieromonks, two ryssaphores and four novices in residence.
