Page "Seraphim Rose" Paragraph 19

The St. Herman of Alaska Monastery in Platina is now a part of the Western America diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

While all of the brothers are currently American, many speak Russian.

Their primary emphasis continues to be the printing of books, which has been the major activity of the brotherhood since its inception.

In addition, the monastery has assisted with the guardianship and education of local youths with behavioral or learning problems, which has earned Rose's brotherhood significant respect among the locals.

Visitors come to the monastery year-round but especially on September 2, the anniversary of Rose's death.
