Who we are
The Hermitage of the Annunciation is a small monastic community near New Germany, Nova Scotia. The property of the monastery was acquired late in 2003. After years of living the monastic life in Halifax, and the city becoming too noisy for a life of silence and prayer, the monks relocated to this property in the spring of 2004.
Priest-monk Roman and monk Cassian live a simple life according to the teachings of the Orthodox Church. Days begin in the morning, before dawn, by offering up prayers and thanksgiving to God. This sets the tone for the day. Their day is spent doing work within the monastic grounds. After the evening prayer, the monks have a time of prayer and study and then retire.
Since relocating to the country, much effort has been spent to make the farm house and property appropriate for the monastic way of life. The monks are still working hard to get everything fixed up . When these works are finished, the monks will be able to develop fully the monastic liturgical life and prayer. Trusting the Lord that He will send more monks, they also hope to find ways to develop a small cottage industry as a source of income. More importantly, they will be able to give more time to serving their Lord, which is the reason they are there.
