Baptism Scheduling & Prep

Baptism is the gateway to life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments (CCC 1213).   It is like birth – indeed, Christ calls it a “new birth” (John 3:5), a birth from above.  All parents are required to complete a preparation class in anticipation of the Baptism of their first child.  For more details, email baptism@basilthegreat.org.

Cancer Support Ministry
A diagnosis of cancer sends patients and families on a journey of physical, emotional and spiritual anxiety. The flood of emotions can affect your faith and prayer life in many different ways. If you are a cancer survivor, are in treatment, or are in remission, please consider joining us.
The Saint Basil Cancer Support Ministry provides an opportunity to minister to one another by praying together, sharing stories, listening, and encouraging one another. You will find a safe, confidential, comfortable space where you can be heard and understood by people walking the same road as you are.  Drop in any month you can make it.  No cost.
For more information and meeting times call Betsy Glosik 440-476-6269 and Nancy Farinacci 440-488-9284.
