The concept of the monastery was blessed by Archbishop [[Dmitri (Royster) of Dallas|Dmitri of Dallas]] and the South on [[November 15]], 2000. Organizational difficulties delayed the activation of the monastery until 2009 when Bp [[Jonah (Paffhausen) of Washington|Jonah]], [[auxiliary bishop]] to Abp. Dmitiri, blessed the re-activation of the monastery project in 2009. Later in the year the monastery acquired twelve and a half acres of property with a house in Kemp, Texas.
Renovation of the house began on [[October 21]], 2009. The modifications provided a [[chapel]] and a renovated kitchen and living area with two [[cell]]s and housing facilities. After completion of the renovations, including the chapel, the monastery was blessed by Metr. Jonah on [[November 28]], 2009.
