Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024 – rain or shine

You are invited to the Community Cookout at Holy Wisdom Monastery on August 8, 2024, 5:00-7:00 pm for a fun, casual, community building event.

This is a great event to come to if you’ve been curious about Holy Wisdom Monastery and looking for a reason to visit or if you want to support the monastery while the Retreat & Guest House is shut down for geothermal work. Please encourage your friends and family to come, all are welcome!

All proceeds will go to support the mission and work of the monastery.

Please plan to join us and enjoy our wonderful community on a summer evening.
