Discovering a Convent in Rural Alberta || The Monastery of the Holy Protection || St. Mary's Convent

While rural and central Alberta is predominately known for its farming industry, cowboy culture, and oil and gas sector, the region does have a few surprises up its sleeve. Take, for example, a small Russian Orthodox convent, replete with dedicated nuns, tucked away outside the hamlet of Bluffton, Alberta. Yes, there are nuns in rural Alberta, and they are wonderful ladies!

Join Marti from 'Down the Wrabbit Hole' as she and her son explore the convent by invitation, meeting the lovely Mother Nektaria, and learn all about how the Russian Orthodox system works when it comes to taking vows and living a convent life. As well, take a peek into their tiny but opulent temple, still standing after being constructed from logs in the 1930s.
