Short time he was a novice in the Solovetsky Monastery, and after a while he came to Glinsk desert, where he was under the leadership of Reverend Filaret Glinski.

Imitating his spiritual father, the abbot Arseny with great care and love did everything to the monastery strengthened. He was a faithful father and mentor brethren.
