For our school-going children: Parents, please encourage and bring your children to Church for Mass and Confession during the above times. Parents are the primary educators of the Faith. The Faith is inculcated by bringing you children to Mass every Sunday. The Catholic Schools and the Parish assist with the education of the Faith. And the Parish administers the Sacraments. Let us help our young people by bringing them to Church (Every Sunday) and teaching them to pray regularly. Children learn by example.

Welcome to our newly restored, historic, and most beautiful St. Basil's Church built in 1867 (The Parish was established in 1842) and now restored in 2023 / 2024. This church building is among the few oldest standing churches in the Diocese of Hamilton. And, as we believe, the walls of St. Basil's are soaked and blessed for decades with the prayers of our beloved ancestors. Come and experience this sacred and powerful Church for yourself... The Presence, the Faith and Reverence, the Beauty and the Vibrance of this multi-cultural and blessed St. Basil's Catholic Church Community in Brantford, Ontario. 


REGULAR OFFICE HOURS:

Messages left AFTER 4 PM FRIDAY will be picked up on MONDAY NOON. We do not have a 24h answering service. In case of an urgent matter on the weekend please approach Father after the Saturday or Sunday Masses and he will assist you.

FOR FUNERALS  - Kindly notify the funeral home at your earliest. They will coordinate with the parish. You may kindly follow up with the parish office - open from Tuesday to Friday, with messages checked on Monday. Father will be available to meet and console the family in their grief and assist in working out the funeral liturgy details. You can also speak to Father at the back of the church after Mass.

IN AN EMERGENCY:

Please proceed immediately to the Brantford General Hospital

After being admitted, kindly request the HOSPITAL STAFF to contact the "ON CALL" CATHOLIC PRIEST for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick (which brings healing and includes the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Last Rites). This sacrament of healing may be administered as soon as your loved one is critically sick; one does not have to wait until death is imminent. Please call the office as soon as your family member becomes critically ill. 

If you have received the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick (Last Rites) recently, then let us trust that God's healing is active and working within us and that this sacrament of healing is on-going. You may most certainly receive this sacrament again the following year if needed.
