The Circle of St. Basil the Great

The Circle of St. Basil the Great is FOCUS North America’s monthly donor community—made up of faithful partners who sustain the work of mercy, hospitality, and human dignity all year long.

Inspired by St Basil the Great, whose life embodied radical love for the poor and vulnerable, members of this Circle help make FOCUS’ mission possible through consistent, prayerful support. St. Basil believed that care for those in need is a shared responsibility of the whole Church and that our resources are entrusted to us so that no one is forgotten.

A Steady Foundation

Monthly gifts through the Circle of St. Basil the Great provide the steady foundation that allows FOCUS to:

    • Serve individuals and families with dignity and compassion
    • Sustain FOCUS Centers and programs across North America
    • Respond quickly to urgent needs in our communities
    • Build long-term, relational support for those we serve

By joining the Circle of St. Basil the Great, you help strengthen the Church’s response to poverty, isolation, and need—through faithful, sustained service grounded in Orthodox Christian love.
