Dormition of the Mother of God Orthodox Monastery is a monastic community for women in the Romanian Episcopate of the Orthodox Church in America. It is located in Rives Junction, Michigan. The community was founded in 1987 under the omophorion of His Grace Bishop Nathaniel of Detroit and the Romanian Episcopate (now archbishop), when Mother Benedicta (Braga), along with two other nuns, left the Monastery of the Transfiguration to begin a new monastery.
