During the week of April 21, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon visited New Skete Monastery, where he was introduced to the life, worship and work of the monks, nuns and companions. The New Skete Communities are directly under the omophorion of Metropolitan Tikhon. Founded as an Eastern Rite Catholic community in the 1960s, the communities were received into the Orthodox Church in America in 1979 after many years living and studying Orthodox Christian theology, liturgy and spirituality in their monastic life.
