Though his method of Biblical interpretation was based on the best scholarship from his studies in Rome and Jerusalem, Fr. James ‘Terry’ Forestell’s (1925 – 2000, ordained 1951) approach was always pastoral and aimed at inculcating love of Christ and the Church. His influence went well beyond the classroom into parishes, priests’ gatherings, and his Basilian confreres.

Memories and stories about Fr. Michel Deglène CSB

Memories and stories about Fr. Michel Deglène CSB (1936 – 2016, ordained 1962) are plenty. Although Father Deglène tended to be a modernist in theology and politics, he never closed himself off from anyone who was more traditionalist because, as he liked to say, “There is place and need for everyone in the Church.”

After two terms as Superior and Master of Scholast

After two terms as Superior and Master of Scholastics at St. Basil’s College (1981–87), Fr. Kenneth Decker (1938 - 2015, ordained 1967) spent a sabbatical year in Nigeria as chaplain for the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa. He called it a “year of leisure,” developing carpentry skills and building church furniture. This marked the start of his tradition of crafting altars, tabernacles, and crucifixes throughout his ministry.

#reconsiliation is a process that unites people once divided. As we reflect on Truth and Reconciliation Day, Fr. Schmidt, CSB provides insight into the ongoing nature of restoring #justice to the present day. We’re reminded of the ongoing journey toward healing with Indigenous Peoples. The Basilian Fathers stand in solidarity, particularly through education, striving to acknowledge the past and honor the value Indigenous cultures bring to #Canada and the #Church. Together, we walk the path of reconciliation and #hope.

What characterized Fr. Peter Beaton’s CSB (1925-2002, ordained 1958) later years was his concern for the poor and zeal for social justice. Readily moved by the suffering of others and seeking its relief, he was associated with Amnesty International, the Task Force of the Churches on Corporate Responsibility, Save the Children, and other like organizations.
