[[Image:monasteryofstjohn.gif|right|frame|Monastery of St. John of San Francisco]]'''St. John of San Francisco Monastery''' is a [[monastic]] community for men in the [[Diocese of the West (OCA)|Diocese of the West]] of the [[Orthodox Church in America]], under Bishop [[Tikhon (Fitzgerald) of San Francisco and Los Angeles|Tikhon of San Francisco, Los Angeles and the West]]. Until June 2006, it was located in Point Reyes Station, California, and is named after St. [[John Maximovitch]] of Shanghai and San Francisco.

After the departure of the sisterhood of [[Our Lady of Kazan Skete (Santa Rosa, California)|Our Lady of Kazan Skete]] from St. Eugene's Hermitage to their present location, Bishop Tikhon blessed the formation of a male monastic community in October 1996 with Abbot Jonah and one novice. They have continued to live in the hermitage since, although plans to move have been presented and funds asked for to this end.

However in May, 2006, the brotherhood entered into proceedings to purchase land in Manton, California; on June 26, the purchase was completed, and the brotherhood planned to move in by the end of July. The first [[Divine Liturgy]] on the site of the new property was celebrated on [[July 2]], on the feastday of St. John Maximovitch. As the monks moved to Manton, the brotherhood decided that St. Eugene's Hermitage would remain as a skete of the monastery, with Frs John and Silouan based there - the former to be more accessible, the latter in view of medical treatment. Fr. Silouan has since recovered and moved to the main monastery.
