The Basilians have never been a large community - in fact, it is one of the reasons many Basilians chose the congregation rather than other religious communities. Our numbers are small enough so that every Basilian knows the rest of the community, and yet our apostolates vary enough to provide ministry opportunities in a broad area of interest.

The reason we are in the locations listed below is quite simple -- we responded to a need. Many people we work with comment that the Basilians' willingness to work in just about any capacity is one of the great hallmarks of the Basilian community.

• Vatican City As the seat of the Church, Rome is an important place to the Basilians. Currently there is one Basilian stationed there at the Vatican Library.
• Annonay The Basilians claim our roots here, in Annonay, France. In 1822, after surviving the trails of the French Revolution, 10 diocesan priests adopted a common rule that still lives on today.
• Bogotá Bogotá is home to the Basilian Scholasticate and Novitiate in South America. There they live in the barrio where they serve the poor in addition to their studies.
• Medellin In Medellin, the Basiilians serve Ecce Homo Parish and its missions in Blanquizal. This parish is in a remote area of Medellin where the unemployment is over 60% and drugs and violence contribute to the problems of the poor. The tiny chapel which serves as the parish Church holds only about a hundred people but on Sundays more than 800 flock to outdoor Masses.
