Welcome to the website of the Sisters
of the Order of St. Basil the Great.
Sister Miriam Claire Kowal,

We
are an international Order of the Catholic
Church of the Eastern Rite. We are formed
in its tradition, discipline, and spirituality,
as well as by the teaching of St. Basil
the Great and the Eastern Fathers.
The Rule of St. Basil
places great emphasis on love of God and
of neighbour. The education of youth is
one of the services recommended by St. Basil.
We also work in charitable institutions,
hospitals, engage in parochial work, catechize,
administer religious institutions, issue
publications, write icons and do liturgical
sewing. We are at the service of Universal
Church especially of the Eastern Rite.
