St. Basil, one of the four great Doctors of the East, was born at Cappadocia in Asia Minor. He became a monk and
combated the Arian heresy with great zeal. He wrote the famous Basilian rule of monasticism and framed the Basilian Liturgy. He
died in 379. We celebrate St. Basil the Great Day on January 2.
Mission Statement
We, the St. Basil the Great Catholic faith community, guided by the Holy Spirit and nurtured by the Eucharist, are called to share the gospel
values of love, justice, forgiveness and service through the celebration of the sacraments, prayer, stewardship and fellowship with respect and
dignity to all.
