Entrance to the Nuns of New Skete monastery

In Peace

We hope that you find your visit to our website informative and peaceful.  Our Eastern Orthodox monastery, located in Cambridge, New York, was founded in 1966.  
​
As Orthodox Christians, it is our passionate desire to live the monastic life and to worship authentically and intensely. New Skete’s entire history has been characterized, in the midst of supporting ourselves, by our efforts to translate the essentials of early Christian monasticism to an American culture capable of transforming us today. This has entailed pursuing the knowledge needed to foster a spirit of healthy simplicity. We achieve this by studying Sacred Scripture, Monastic and Liturgical History and by being open to the difficulties and yearnings of our contemporaries.

Brother Christopher in Holy Wisdom

  When an individual enters our community as a novice, an ongoing process of growth and formation begins that will continue throughout monastic life. The point of this process is to become more closely formed according to the image and example of Jesus Christ who is ultimately the true teacher.
