From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Saint Nikolaj of Žića[1], a religious retreat open to all Orthodox Christians, is located at 6905 Springborn Avenue in China Township, Michigan. The monastery and the Church of St. Prokopije are under the omophorion of Metropolitan Longin (Krčo) of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of New Gračanica and Midwestern America of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

==History-- Father Radiša Ninković[2]along with his wife Radmilla and their grownup children Danica, Mirko, and Sava along with the support of many Serbs and American neighbors, undertook the daunting task of building a monastic institution on 21 acres of farmland in China Township, Michigan. In 2010, Father Radiša envisioned the Church of St. Prokopije which materialized in 2014 at the time of its consecration by the then Bishop Longin (Krčo). Father Radisa and his wife Radmilla received awards and recognition for their selfless act by the grateful Eparchy.
