One must be a good Christian before he can become a good priest. So, the seminarian should develop those values imitative of Christ. The Spiritual Director has the role of implementing the formation of the Christian community of the seminary. By his conferences given to students and especially by his individual direction, he encourages this spiritual formation. It is his responsibility to provide the unity of direction necessary for the priestly life through the integration of study, apostolic activity and prayer.
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 Alumni Association of St. Basil College was formed to foster among the alumni a spirit of loyalty to their Alma Mater, to perpetuate friendships formed at the College, to advance its interests and extend the scholastic influence of the College.
