History:

The monastery in honor of the Praise of the Mother of God stands in the village of Onokivtsi, in the Uzhhorod district of Zakarpattia, within the Mukachevo Diocese.

The earliest mention of the community found dates to 20 December 2020, when it existed as a diocesan metochion in honor of the Praise of the Mother of God1.

By 2 November 2021 the diocesan website was already calling the community a men's monastery of the same dedication: that day, at an archpastoral service, Valeriy Ilnytskyi, a graduate of the Chernivtsi theological institute, was ordained deacon2.

On 14 December 2023 the novice Ioann Roman was tonsured into the rassophore with the name Gabriel, in honor of the Venerable Gabriel (Urgebadze)5, 6. A year later, on 2 November 2024, the house's resident hierodeacon Makariy was ordained to the priesthood7.

Every year on 2 November, the feast day of the Venerable Gabriel (Urgebadze) of Samtavro, the house holds an archpastoral Divine Liturgy: such a service is documented for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 20252, 3, 4, 7, 8.
