It is my pleasure to welcome you to the official website of St. Basil College Seminary. I am delighted you have taken the time to seek more information about our insitituion, its purpose, goals, and program. You will find information here about the founding of our institution, its history, programs, administration, faculty, and students. St. Basil College is the only Ukrainian Catholic College in the United States and the Ukrainian Catholic community is justly proud of what it has accomplished in the years since its members came to these shores as immigrants seeking a better life. This community has made significant sacrifices to ensure that its religion and culture will endure and contribute to American culture. It is a tribute to its spirit and spirtuality that it has exerted, and continues to exert, a cultural and spiritual influence in the United States through its graduates, both priests and lay people. In recent years, with the fall of the Soviet Union and the establishment of a free Ukraine, students from Ukraine have found easy access to our program and the opportunity to study for the priesthood in the United States, thereby becoming more familiar with American culture and the Ukrainian community here.

Sincerely, Edward J. Bordeau Ph.D., Academic Dean
