Monastery of Saint Clement
Monastery of St. Clement, Clement
Ukraine, Lviv
The monastery of St. Clement is a male Greek Catholic monastery of the Redemptorist Order in Lviv. Located at the address: Franco street, 56.
The site on which the monastery was built belonged to the Galician-Russian institution - the Stavropegian Institute. In 1881, Basilian nuns settled here; a gymnasium for girls was opened, which operated intermittently until 1933. Through the efforts of the Lviv Greek Catholic Metropolitan Sylvester Sembratovich, a small church was built in 1885. In 1912, the territory became the property of another Galician-Russian institution, the People's House, and the Basilians left it. In the mid-1930s, the People's House decided to sell the plot, the house and the church. Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky bought and on May 18, 1937 transferred this property to the Redemptorist Order. The premises were renovated, and on November 13, 1938, Andrei Sheptytsky, together with Bishop Nikolai Charnetsky, consecrated the monastery.
