USAКалистога1941–1959Public buildings
The monastery was founded in the early 1940s by a small group of nuns who had come from Russia and China: with the blessing of the church authorities they bought a two-storey house on the bank of the Napa River. A separate wooden church modelled on the Fort Ross chapel was completed in 1959. The last nuns left in the early 1980s and the site served as a parish church; the buildings were restored from 1998, and on 22 October 2009 a community of sisters from Santa Paula moved in.
Монастырь основан в начале 1940-х годов небольшой группой монахинь, приехавших из России и Китая: с благословения церковных властей они купили двухэтажный дом на берегу реки Напа. Отдельная деревянная церковь, повторяющая часовню Форт-Росса, завершена в 1959 году. В начале 1980-х годов монахини покинули обитель, и она служила приходским храмом; с 1998 года постройки восстановлены, 22 октября 2009 года сюда переселилась община сестёр из Санта-Паулы.
