Holy Transfiguration skete, Orthodox monastery in Mansonville, Canada.

The Holy Transfiguration Skete stands three miles from Mansonville village in Quebec, functioning as a spiritual center for Russian Orthodox monks.

Metropolitan Vitaly established this religious sanctuary in 1959 as a spiritual-administrative center for the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.

The monastery maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through daily prayer services, religious discussions, and traditional Russian Orthodox ceremonial practices.

The monastery primarily serves as a retreat for clergy members, with restricted access to the general public for maintaining its contemplative environment.

This spiritual center operates independently from canonical jurisdiction while preserving authentic Russian Orthodox monastic practices in rural Quebec.
