On July 16, 2005, the foundation stone of the main church ('katholikon') was laid by Archbishop Stylianos, assisted by Bishop [[Seraphim (Ginis) of Apollonias|Seraphim]]. Soon after, the driveway for the new monastic complex was finished, making possible the construction of the new complex. The first phase of this construction - the church and first part of the living quarters - was begun in February 2006. Construction continues and will continue for the foreseeable future.
Around 2011, Elder Stephanos retired as abbot of the monastery, while remaining at the monastery; Hmk Eusebios succeeded him, being elevated to Archimandrite on [[September 14]] by Bp [[Iakovos (Tsigounis) of MiletoupolisMilitoupolis]] and subsequently enthroned as Abbot on [[September 17]], 2011.
