Giving is an act of worship and a reflection of God's abundant love for us. As we have been blessed, we are called to bless others through our faithful stewardship. Your generous offerings support our church's ministry, help us care for our community, and enable us to share Christ's love through charitable works.
For your convenience, offerings may be sent to our Zelle account: stbasilsboston.trsr@gmail.com.

OUR HEART FOR SERVICE
Following Christ's call to serve "the least of these," St. Basil's has been blessed to support various charitable causes and organizations over the years. Through the faithful generosity of our church family, we have been able to extend God's love beyond our parish walls, caring for those in need both locally and globally. The examples below represent some of the ministries and causes we have had the privilege to support—contact us to learn more about our ongoing outreach efforts.
Housing Ministry in India
Through God's provision and the generosity of our congregation, we have been blessed to contribute toward building homes for families in need throughout India. These modest dwellings provide shelter, dignity, and a foundation for families to build their lives upon, reflecting Christ's love through practical care.
Caring for Our Community
Our church family believes in supporting one another through life's most difficult moments. When someone who had been instrumental in our church's early development faced serious health challenges and later passed away, we felt moved by Christian love to provide assistance with medical and memorial expenses. This act of care reflects our understanding that we are called to bear one another's burdens and show compassion to those who have blessed our lives through their kindness.
Clergy Housing Support
Learning of a newly ordained deacon in India facing difficult living conditions, our congregation felt moved to help provide him with a proper home. More than just shelter, this space enables him to prepare spiritually for the Divine Liturgy and serve his community with dignity, ensuring God's servants have the support they need to minister effectively.
Medical Emergency Relief
Over the years, we have received heartfelt requests from individuals and families in India facing serious medical challenges—kidney transplants, cancer treatments, and other urgent procedures. Through our congregation's compassionate giving, we have been able to provide financial assistance for life-saving treatments, standing with our brothers and sisters in their moments of greatest need.
Partnership with Solace Charity
We are honored to support Solace Charity, an organization dedicated to caring for severely ill and underprivileged children in Kerala, India. Solace provides comprehensive support—from funding critical medical procedures to offering emotional support groups for families. Our partnership allows us to extend Christ's healing love to children and families facing unimaginable challenges.
The Pelican Centre Ministry
The Pelican Centre, in Kerala, India, serves as "an open door for the needy and mentally challenged people of our society," providing rehabilitation and care that enables individuals to lead fuller, more independent lives. Our support of this vital ministry reflects our belief that every person is created in God's image and deserves compassion, dignity, and the opportunity to thrive.
