On the 4th of March 2011 His Eminence Paul Archbishop of Ryazan and Kasimov appointed Hegumen Dionysius Father Superior of the cloister according to the decisions of the Council of Archbishops and on the 1st of April gave him the Crozier of the Hegumen.
The revival of the cloister continues nowadays in the same way as before.
Special attention is paid to the development of agriculture.
Before the revolution the monastery possessed over 5000 ha of cultivated land. At present the monastery has already bought about 1200 ha of land. Besides, expensive agricultural equipment is bought.
Realization of such programs on the lands bought by the monastery is a traditional form of service to God and people.
We would like to believe that our program will help not only the brethren of our cloister and our pilgrims but also people living in other places, will give them accommodation and jobs and will fill their labour with spiritual sense.
Nevertheless one should accept the fact that positive results depend not only on the prayers and the work of the brethren, but also on the help of our benefactors.
We sincerely hope for the prayers and material support of all those people who value the rebirth of the Russian village, the establishment of farm households and what is more important – the organization of people’s lives according to God’s Commandments.
