Attached to it is St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, one of the three seminaries of the Orthodox Church in America. (later Archbishop of Winnipeg, Canada), with the blessing of then Bishop of North America, later Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, Confessor of Orthodoxy, St. The stavropigial St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Monastery was founded in 1905 by Archimandrite Arseny (Chagovtsov)Tikhon (Belavin), and was dedicated to the saintly patronage of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, the heavenly patron of Bishop Tikhon. From the very beginning, the monastery drew Orthodox pilgrims from all corners of North America, and played a key role in Orthodox mission on the continent. Knowing that monasticism is indispensable for the healthy flourishing of a local Orthodox Church, the young Hieromonk Arseny, who arrived in America in 1902, conceived the idea of starting a monastery in America. In his vision, the monastery would serve as a “mother house” for monastics who were engaged in mission work in various places in North America; they could return periodically for spiritual rejuvenation. Through Fr. Arseny’s dedicated efforts, aided by Archbishop Tikhon’s, suitable land was found: the Wagner farm in western Wayne County, near the village of South Canaan. On June 26, 1905, the land for the new monastery was purchased for by Archbishop Tikhon and Hieromonk Arseny — the founders of St. Tikhon’s Monastery. An orphanage was started at the same time. |
