HISTORY

In 1992, St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery was started  in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, with a three dollar donation.

This women's monastery is currently under the omophorion (authority) of the Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh, the Archdiocese of America in New York, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

With traditional Orthodox Monastic hospitality, St. Mary of Egypt Monastery has received visitors and guests from about 22 countries worldwide.

In addition to helping the needy of our community, charity is offered to refugee families, as well as children and their families from around the world who come to Cleveland for medical needs.

St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery has received Proclamations from the Mayors of Cleveland, Ohio, and the Governors of Ohio for our commitment to the community. See our brochure for more information.
