In June a group of men from our Cathedral went to St. Tikhon's Monastery for a retreat.  On the way to St. Tikhon's we made a quick stop at Holy Protection Convent (Agia Skepi), a women's monastery that was recently established in Poconos.  We stayed overnight at St. Tikhon's which allowed us to attend both the services of Vespers and Matins in the evening and the Divine Liturgy in the morning.  This was a very memorable trip for everyone who participated.
