== History ==
The Monastery of Saint [[Gregory Palamas]] was established in 1982 by Metropolitan [[Maximos (Aghiorgoussis) of Pittsburgh|Maximos of Pittsburgh]] on a farm purchased from another religious group. The monastery is located in north central Ohio, in a rural, wooded agricultural area, about 15 miles east of Mansfield.
The main church of the monastery, built in what may be described as "Ohio Byzantine architecture," was consecrated in 1989 by Archbishop [[Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America|Iakovos]], who led the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America|Greek Orthodox Archdiocese]] from 1959 to 1996.
== Associated communities ==
There is also a closely associated community for women located about two miles away, [[Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple Skete (Hayesville, Ohio)|Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple Skete]], which is not a dependency but an independent [[hesychasterion]]. There is also another community nearby founded by monastics originally from St. Gregory's, [[St. Theodore House (Galion, Ohio)]], which, however, closed on [[October 31]], 2012.[http://sttheodoremonks.oh.goarch.org/].
