Welcome! It is always an honor and a privilege when we have visitors worship with us at St. Basil’s. Please consider filling out a “Visitor’s Card” at the Candle Desk and joining us for Coffee Hour after the liturgy. Please keep in mind that we have certain traditions and practices that perhaps you may not be accustomed to. For example, modest and proper attire should be worn. We do not practice so-called "Eucharistic hospitality" or "inter-Communion." Only Baptized Orthodox Christians who have been to Holy Confession recently may receive Holy Communion. If you are an Orthodox visitor and plan to receive Holy Communion, please call Fr. Peter ahead of time (518-273-6262).
All Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals must be scheduled ahead of time with Fr. Peter. Not all days and times are permitted. All canonical, traditional and liturgical practices of the Church must be followed and adhered to. Normally sacraments are scheduled only by Baptized Orthodox Christians who go to church, go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on a regular basis. All Baptisms must be discussed with the parents of the child ahead of time. Please call Fr. Peter if you are interested in scheduling a sacrament (518-273-6262). Thank you!
