A Journey of Resilience and Faith: Relocating from 95 St. Joseph St. to 360 Davenport
September 12, 2023
In Basilian history, we find resilience, faith, and an unwavering dedication to the Basilian charism of education, evangelization, and our profound devotion to God. Our recent transition from 95 St. Joseph St. to our new location of 360 Davenport stands as a powerful testament to these enduring values that have long guided our journey.
The packing, planning, and relocating preparations, made months in advance, were brought to life in the last few weeks. With our staff and lay associated on site daily, and sometimes on weekends, desks were hauled, cabinets moved and chairs were wrapped, all placed in storage containers or into moving trucks to make their way to 360 Davenport.
Our story is one of resilience, faith, and the eternal quest to draw closer to God, and it is a narrative that continues to unfold on the sacred grounds of 360 Davenport.
