The answer
One of the most notable characteristics of the Coptic Orthodox Church today is the constant increase in the number of those wanting to join the monastic life, leading to the restoration of many of the deserted monasteries. Monasteries for men are spread in the wilderness, whereas convents are located within the towns and cities.
Pope Cyril VI reconstructed the monastery of St. Mina, close to Alexandria. Likewise, Pope Shenouda III renovated the monastery of St. Pishoy in the Wadi Natrun, where he established a patriarchate because of his great love for monasticism, and he regularly spent approximately half of each week there.
Moreover, many of the youth who immigrated to the United States, Canada, and Australia joined monasteries after succeeding in their careers.
