Welcome to St. Basil’s Catholic Parish

The collegiate church of the University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto.

A place to belong

We are a sacramental community grounded by sacred scripture. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, we strive to be witness of the hope and mercy we find in relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is mediated and guided by the traditions of the Catholic Church as we live in a world with goodness, discipline and knowledge. In other words, We affirm our potential more than we condemn our brokenness; we value reconciliation over judgment; and we value the right question over the right answer.
