Everyone is welcome to visit St Romanos Hermitage, but it is best to precoordinate your visit. Our main mode of communication is via email.
We are located at 804 S. Putnam Street, Williamston, Michigan, 48895.
Please remember that this is a men's monastic community. We ask that your attire and conduct coincide with what is appropriate when visiting any Orthodox church or monastery. We do ask that shorts are not worn, nor any short skirts or sleeveless tops; we encourage modest attire for all guests. Skirts and headscarves are not required for women unless attending a service at St Romanos Hermitage. Please minimize the use of cell phones or ipods when visiting the hermitage.
We would be glad to have you come visit us.

"Asceticism is not so much an escape from the world
but rather a spirit of selflessness, a struggle against 'enslavement to the flesh', through recognition of the supremacy of eternal values."
