'''The Holy Cross Orthodox Monastery''' is a [[monastery]] of the [[Diocese of Washington and New York schismatic]] [[Russian True-Orthodox Church (OCAVyacheslav)|Russian True-Orthodox Church]] located . Located in Niagara Falls, New York, it formerly belonged to [[ROCOR]], the [[OCA]], [[Holy Orthodox Church in North America]], and [[Russian Orthodox Church in Exile#Current status|True Russian Orthodox Church]] under Metropolitan Damascene of Moscow. It was established in the year 2005 by [[Archimandrite]] [[Nicholas (Iuhos)]], with the blessing of Metropolitan [[Herman (Swaiko) of Washington and New York|Herman (Swaiko)]], built in the former Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church (est. 1951).
Plans for the monastery include the organization of special spiritual retreats and lectures for those who are interested in learning more about the [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox faith]], [[spirituality]], the [[Church Fathers]], and much more.
The main building needs capital repairs, a new roof, new windows, new electrical wiring, and new heating and air conditioning system. Once restored, it is in this building that the monastic community will live.
The monastery plans to bring English speaking [[monk]]s from Eastern Europe to begin the monastic life and hopes to attract other interested candidates from the US and Canada.
The monastery plans to build a small pierogi factory to provide itself income, some of which will be used to help needy families of military personnel and set up scholarships for their children. A project to build a shrine dedicated to the Holy Cross in memory of American servicemen and women is also planned.
On June 12, 2010, Archimandrite Nicholas was consecrated Bishop of Cincinatti by Metropolitan Damascene (Balabanov) of Moscow, Archbishop John (Zinovyev) of Zaporozhye and Little Rus', and Bishop Andrian (Zamlinsky) of Chişinău and Moldova as head of the North American Vicariate of the "True Russian Orthodox Church."
In 2011, he left to the Russian True-Orthodox Church under schismatic metropolitan Alexey (Bondarenko) of Moscow.
