Centennial Celebration Continues with Open House

On Saturday, June 18, the Sisters of the Order of Saint Basil the Great hosted an Open House on their grounds in Fox Chase. Over sixty people attended the event, which included a tour of the buildings and grounds. Alumnae, neighbors and friends strolled through the former Saint Basil Academy; the first Motherhouse for the Sisters (which was also the former residence of Betsy Ross); Holy Trinity Chapel; and the Basilian Spirituality Center. The day concluded with light refreshments served outdoors.

The Sisters are half-way through a one year celebration of one hundred years in America, and they look forward to the next event: the Pilgrimage to the Mother of God on October 2, 2011. The Centennial Year will close with a Divine Liturgy and Banquet on November 6, 2011.
