More Than a Celebration
This centenary is more than a remembrance of history. It is a call to renew our mission in Quebec and across Canada, to deepen our commitment to the Gospel, and to walk faithfully in the spirit of our founders.
Under the theme “The Assumptionists and the Founders,” this year invites religious men and women, along with members of the Lay Religious Alliance, to walk together in faith, unity, and shared mission.
