The purpose of the Monastic Sisterhood, already in large part being realized, is described in its Constitution as follows: "The unceasing doxology of the Triune God, through liturgies and personal prayer, the perfect living of the mystical life in Christ Jesus in virginity by those laboring in ascetisim according to God in the Sacred Monastery, and the accomplishment of completely coordinated spiritual work, 'with one mouth and one heart', among the members, and their continual progress, as integrated Christian personalities.
"The diverse support of all persons, in unceasing prayer, as well as love towards all in action, and especially the Christian education of and assistance to youth, chiefly among girls, through the appropriate means, spaces, foundations, schools or camps, and also conventions, and the scientific, theological and ecclesiastical cultivation and fruitfulness of Its members, through research, translations, and publications, with formation in Byzantine Music", with their teacher in this being the prominent Archon Head Chanter of the Most Holy Diocese of Contantinople, the musicologist Mr. Lycourgos Angelopoulos.
Tirelessly the Nuns cultivate, besides the earth, lifestock, bees, silkworms; and in addition, the arts of sacred sewing, gold embroidery, iconography, Byzantine sculpture, mosaics, and various other handiworks, inasmuch as some of them are distinguished graduates of the Academies of Fine Arts of Berlin, of Tbilisi, Georgia, of Moscow, and elsewhere and elsewhere.
