Assumptionists

On January 15, 2025, at 19h30 (Brazil time), we will experience a special moment: the First Religious Profession of our brothers:
🙏 Go. Julius Caesar Berdugo Marín
🙏 Ir. Evandro Gomes
🙏 Ir. Esteban Gustavo Taco Ortega
🙏 Ir. Eliu Ituriel Tlecuilce Zepahua
📍 Location: Our Lady of the Assumption Seminary, Holy Spirit of Pinhal/SP.

It was a great pleasure for us to have the visit of Lynne Brouillette and Radek Jaster (from Kids in the Congo) here in Butembo & Beni in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. I salute their courage and determination, especially given the fact that this part of the DRC is troublesome and therefore, repulsive, so to speak, to Westerners. 

In this heartwarming video, you’ll experience the excitement of the day, from the gathering of donors, priests, and Assumptionists to the touching speeches and guided tour of this thoughtfully designed space. Emmanuel House is more than just a building; it’s a symbol of love, care, and faith—a place where those who have given so much can now find peace, comfort, and community.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all !
In a letter to Marie-Eugénie de Jésus (Foundress of the Religious of the Assumption) on December 14, 1868, our founder Emmanuel d’Alzon wrote: “It seems to me that nothing is so admirable as to take advantage of the Church’s feasts to bring Jesus Christ to birth in souls in a more perfect way each year, and then to grow and develop in imitation of the divine Master living in us.”

A little boy was very happy to participate in a Nativity play that took place in his parish church. He played the role of an innkeeper. He was assigned to send Mary and Joseph away when they requested for a room in the inn.

Dear Partners in the Assumption Family,
When we light the Advent Candles on the Advent Wreath, we know that we are in the season of waiting for our Savior Jesus Christ.
