The Convent of St. Mary Magdalene is a women's monastery in the Western Rite of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), located in Pass Christian, Mississippi.


With the blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, the convent was formed in January 2017, under the spiritual direction of Hieromonk Ezekiel (Vieages).


In 2021 by the grace of Metropolitan Hilarion, the convent was moved to Mississippi and incorporated there as a nonprofit.


In 2022, we received a 24-acre piece of property.  A house in need of significant repairs is included on the property, and architectural planning is underway for a new building with chapel and refectory.  Once we are established on the property, we will be able to have regular services and to open our doors to welcome pilgrims.
