St. Herman's House of Hospitality

St. Herman's House of Hospitality

St. Herman's is an Orthodox monastery which follows the rule of St. Basil the Great (330-379) who was Archbishop of Caesarea, a Great Hierarch, and one of the Cappadocian fathers. St. Basil was known for his care of the poor and disadvantaged. His guidelines for monastic life focus upon community life, liturgical prayer and manual labor. As is true of all Orthodox monasteries, we live here and our doors are always open to those in need, which is why we are known as a House of Hospitality.

St. Herman's was founded September 27, 1977 by Mother Mary Blossom (born 9/25/1884) and Father Gregory C. Reynolds. Mother Mary Blossom came here from Pleasant Hill, TN to establish St. Herman's. Our Order is known as the Little Brothers and Sisters of the Divine Compassion.

Thanks to all of those who helped the monastery during Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New year. The monastery was able to take care of many people, families with children and the poor, not only with food, but medications and bus fares. This is a great service, presented in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
