Memory Eternal
Brother Peter Kozak, an ever-memorable Founder of the St. Nicholas Brotherhood, reposed peacefully in the Lord on Wednesday, February 26th. Born in Germany, he was a life-long supporter of Ukraine and a strong supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). He studied Theology at the Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, NY. Two notable classmates later became Metropolitan Hilarion and Archpriest Victor Potapov. May his memory be eternal!
About Us
St. Nicholas Skete, established in 2015 by the ever-memorable Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral), is a Orthodox monastic community located in the Freehold Township of NJ. After the Metropolitan's passing in 2022, leadership transitioned to the very reverend Father Eutychius Dovgan who is the current Igumen (abbot) of the St. Nicholas Skete.
We are actively raising funds for the construction of a new church building as well as for the construction of guest quarters for pilgrims visiting our monastic community.
