History
Since the spring of 2005, St. Paul's Fellowship of Labor has touched the lives of many monks, nuns, volunteers, and countless others. We have run programs to communities in California, Washington State, Massachusetts, Arizona, Canada, Guatemala, and the Bahamas. We are growing at a fantastic rate and hope ot make international travel more of the rule than the exception.

St. Paul’s Fellowship of Labor is a nonprofit organizaiton that provides opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to travel to and serve Orthodox monastic communities around the world. 

We hope that you consider this program as an opportunity to travel, meet new people, make long lasting friendships, venerate holy places, and give back through labor.  We thank you for your interest, time, and support.  .

Mission

A ministry of service, St. Paul’s Fellowship of Labor offers an opportunity to:

• Enrich one’s understanding and appreciation of Orthodox Monastacism; its history, traditions, services, hymnology, etc.
• To learn and discuss current issues from a monastic perspective
• Create an awareness of the ongoing activity within Monastacism
• Refine one’s conceptions of being an active member of one’s church community
• Recognize one’s ability to contribute to projects with their individual skills and talents.
• To foster and strengthen friendship
• Provide an interface for exchange between monastics and lay people
• To encourage veterans of our trips to informally plan future trips, pilgrimages, visits together
• Simply have an amazing time, one that results in the growth of confidence, maturity, and identity of the participant, their family, and friends
