Laborer During Construction
During my many stays At the monastery ranging from overnight to a full week All the trucks were very pleasant,enjoyed Around All the fathers. St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Monastery Is a very beautiful and homely place. I would recommend visiting as I plan to In the near future To just stop in and say hello and to Show my gratitude. Thank you Fathers.

Heaven On Earth
I visited Saint Nektarios with four fellow parishioners from Saint Paul's Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Long Island just recently. No words are sufficient to describe the utterly peaceful, warm and wondrous energies I felt during our day long stay there. We intended to at...tend one service and to have lunch with the monks, but they encouraged us to remain until the early evening to hear Vespers and then to have dinner with them as well. When the Geronda heard our confessions, each of us could not believe how so much at ease he made us feel, and how compassionate and non-judgmental he was while nonetheless being firm and in strict adherence to Church teachings. I want so much to go back and to actually spend a few days there with the monks, as they literally have bestowed a new emotional lease on life for me. By all means do I urge people to visit this most holy and wonderful place.
Great
I have been here and it is a peaceful and beautiful place. Everyone should visit...
Responce to "Hello"
I am almost certain ,you don't understand what a "monastery" means. It is a place of contemplation and physical isolation. Not all monks are allowed to speak unless they have the "blessing" from the elder to do so. Also monks do spend all their awaken time ,prayin...g ,even during hard physical work. I have found this monastery to be a spiritual oasis for all peaple. Never felt ignored nor the monks were , in any way , rude. Absolutly the opposite..
Please DO NOT give people the wrong impression!
Ok...first of all, you should be ashamed for writing something like this about such holy souls of St. Nektarios' Monastery! Being that you have the heart to write something this RUDE makes me question if you EVEN made the requests appropriately, and if you made HONEST a...ttempts. MANY CHRISTIANS (INCLUDING MYSELF) HAVE CONTACTED THIS MONASTERY AND HAVE RECEIVED THE HELP WE NEEDED AND IN MANY CASES, EVEN MORE THAN WHAT WE DESERVE! You obviously had nothing good to say, so for your own sake...make sure you DO NOT give others a WRONG IMPRESSION! P.S. A REAL Christian would know better than to make such comments online. A place where you can PREVENT people from even entering a place so HOLY!
