THE REALITY
Living Monastic Life
The Monastery of St John of the Mountain is not just a place of worship, it is a working monastic community where monks live a life of prayer, service, and discipline every day.
Daily life is structured around prayer, spiritual study, and manual work, with each monk contributing to the upkeep of the monastery through tasks such as food preparation, maintenance, agriculture, and producing goods to support its sustainability.
Maintaining this way of life requires ongoing resources, care, and support to sustain both the monastery and the monks who dedicate their lives to it.
Preserving Tradition
Orthodox monasticism is built on centuries of spiritual practice, but sustaining it in a modern Australian context comes with real challenges.
Since 2005, the monastery has served the community through liturgies, confession, education, and outreach, while continuing to develop its facilities and expand its work.
The monastery is still growing, with ongoing development, maintenance, and operational needs. Without continued support, the ability to sustain this environment, support the monks, and continue its spiritual and educational mission becomes increasingly difficult.
OUR MISSION
Support the monastery, its monks, and ongoing work.
The Monastery of St John of the Mountain exists as a working Orthodox monastic community, where daily life is centred around prayer, worship, and service.
Located just outside Perth, the monastery is home to a small brotherhood of monks who dedicate their lives to spiritual practice while also maintaining the monastery and supporting those who seek guidance through its ministry.
Sustaining this way of life requires ongoing care, from the daily needs of the monks to the upkeep and development of the monastery itself.
Through continued support, the monastery is able to remain active, offering spiritual guidance, education, and a place of worship for the wider community.
