COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES: Seminarians participate on a voluntary basis in part-time apostolic work during the year. This provides an invaluable experience in preparation for the student's future ministry. The main apostolates are: Blood Bank, religious instruction in parish communities, human concern projects, such as Catholic Relief Services, visiting local hospitals and nursing homes, and youth apostolate work.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES:   Opportunities are provided to the students for fostering cultural interests, for field trips which relate to curriculum, and for lectures in nearby colleges and universities. Students also have access to museums and performing arts centers in New York City and southwestern Connecticut.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM:  All the students are encouraged to participate in some type of physical fitness program. This is in accord with the objectives of the institution; that is, to educate the whole man. Annually, there is scheduled a physical education activity such as the Pan Basilian Games, a basketball foul shooting contest, etc. All the students participate in this activity and awards are presented at the graduation luncheon. Photos and results of this activity are featured in the College trophy case.

STUDENT WORK PROGRAM:   Manual labor is a traditional part of seminary training.  It teaches the student to accept responsibilities for his own and the community's needs.  It enables him to experience physical labor and to respect the men who live by it and whom he may serve some day as pastor.

THE SEMINARY LITURGICAL CHOIR:  The oldest group activity of St. Basil College, the Seminary Liturgical Choir, has performed frequently at civic and ecclesiastical functions.  Its repertoire includes traditional liturgical compositions of the Divine Liturgy, Presanctified Liturgy, Vespers, and other services of the Ukrainian Catholic Church.
