On Saturday, June 18, the Sisters of the Order of Saint Basil the Great hosted an Open House on their grounds in Fox Chase. Over sixty people attended the event, which included a tour of the buildings and grounds.

Alumnae, neighbors and friends strolled through the former Saint Basil Academy; the first Motherhouse for the Sisters (which was also the former residence of Betsy Ross); Holy Trinity Chapel; and the Basilian Spirituality Center. The day concluded with light refreshments served outdoors.

The Sisters are half-way through a one year celebration of one hundred years in America, and they look forward to the next event: the Pilgrimage to the Mother of God on October 2, 2011. The Centennial Year will close with a Divine Liturgy and Banquet on November 6, 2011.
