Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits…. most Catholics find it hard to distinguish between the various types of religious orders. Yet they are considered to be an integral part of Catholicism. The Basilians, although relatively small and young in the long history of orders, have played a unique role in the history of religious life in Canada.
Who are these members of an Institute of Consecrated Life, dedicated to the fourth century bishop who promoted the ideal of religious community to include monastics and the public?
Providing comprehensive coverage of Christian religious orders as well as a careful account of the foundation and evolution of the Basilians, Professors Hayden and Griffin offer a sense of how these groups flavour and shape Catholic culture over time. From their origins in France to their development in North America which began and flourished in Toronto, this order has shown that though they may be small, their contributions to the world of North American education has certainly proved them to be mighty.
