By the mid-1940s, Holy Trinity Monastery was able to repay the mortgage for the house, finish a barn for 80 cattle, expand the dairy, gain another 200 acres of land, acquire all their needed farming equipment, and buy a linotype machine with a large, 16-station printing press, including Church Slavonic type, for the monastery press. Their labors completed allowed them, in 1946, the freedom to begin building a grand, golden-cupola'd stone [[cathedral]]. A key benefactor of the building of the cathedral, Professor Nikolai Nikolaevich Alexandrov, later joined the brotherhood.
[[Pochaev Lavra of the Dormition of the Theotokos|Pochaev Lavra]], that had moved from Pochaev to Germany via Serbia, split in 1946. Some of the monks stayed in Germany, to form the [[Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev (Munich)|Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev]], while 14 of the monks moved, via Switzerland, to Holy Trinity Monastery. [[Hegumen]] Panteleimon resigned as [[abbot]], and [[Bishop]] [[Seraphim (Ivanov) of Chicago|Seraphim]], former abbot of Pochaev Lavra, replaces him as abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery. Bishop Seraphim resumed publication of periodical Orthodox Russia (Pravoslavnaya Rus), and named Hmk. [[Konstantin Constantine (Zaitsev)]] editor.
