According to Fr. Maximos, the skete was officially founded on May 26/June 8:
Our new monastic institution is a skete or dependency of the Monastery of the Glorious Ascension originally blessed by Metropolitan Hilarion of thrice blessed memory, but brought in existence by our beloved archpastor Metropolitan Nicholas, a worthy successor of Metropolitan Hilarion! His Eminence blessed our formal creation on the Feast of the Apostle Carpus & Alpheus this year.
We ask for prayers and we begin then daunting task of building a facility and a community, pray for us!!!
