For many years now, there has been a concern that the Roman Catholic Church has seen fewer people enter the priesthood and religious life. The priesthood, especially in North America, is old, overworked, and concerned about who will continue the sacramental ministry of the Church.
I am the Vocation Director for the Congregation of St. Basil, a community of priests dedicated to preaching and teaching. Serving in places such as Toronto, Detroit, Houston, and more, Basilians have a history of doing incredible work without seeking any praise. Founded in France during the Napoleonic Persecutions, the Basilians have taken great risks to bring solid teaching to people in need.
It is my hope to encourage others to join our work. It is my hope that young men interested in serving the church would look at the Basilian and see a way of life that is attractive and hope-filled.

Aloha Father. Nice to see you have a blog. I once saw a program on EWTN about the Basilians.
