Other: Holy Nativity Convent was founded over thirty years ago as a small community of nuns, following the traditional Orthodox monastic life of prayer and labor. The nuns are supporting ourselves by dipping pure beeswax candles, and sewing vestments, cassocks and other church articles. In time, as the community has grown, icon pins and a variety of other small icons were added to our handicrafts. In addition, the Monastery is able to offer a selection of goods imported from the Holy Land: mother-of-pearl and olive wood crosses, brooches, boxes and other carved articles.

Other:  Holy Transfiguration Monastery is under the Bishops of  the Holy Orthodox Church of North America (HOCNA), which is a member of  the Holy Synod of the True Orthodox Church of Greece. The founding father is a monk of Greek descent who became a monk on the Holy Mountain Athos in the Russian monastery of St. Panteleimon's. Thus, the community follows the cenobitic, communal rule, and is supplemented by elements of a hesychast typicon from Mount Athos.
The Holy Transfiguraturation Monastery began in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in the winter of 1960. In 1961 the community acquired a modest three-storey house in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts that was then quite adequate for the few founding fathers. As the number of monks grew, however, it became necessary to look for new quarters, and in 1970 the community found and acquired our present house, a three-storey mansion built in 1881, after a plan inspired by a 17th Century Scottish manor. Adjoining the main house is a coach house, which is now used for living quarters. The entire property comprises 19 acres, most of it wooded. The community presently keeps four goats to (provide milk and cheese for the fathers) and also five cats.
