It was an honor to join Bayard, Inc. USA in welcoming Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst during his visit to Worcester on October 06, 2025. The gathering marked a moment of joy, unity, and renewed commitment to serving the Church’s mission with faith and dedication.
Celebrating a Decade of Presence on the Assumption University Campus
This special visit also coincided with Bayard’s 10th anniversary on the Assumption University campus. Over the past decade, Bayard has continued to support faith formation, evangelization, and Catholic publishing with devotion and excellence. The anniversary highlights the ongoing partnership between Bayard, the Assumptionists, and Assumption University—three communities united by shared values and a shared mission.
A Strong Assumptionist Presence
We remain especially grateful for the presence of Father Chi Ai Nguyenchi, Provincial Superior of the North America Province of the Assumptionists. His leadership, guidance, and commitment continue to strengthen our collaborative efforts to advance Gospel-centered work in education, publishing, and pastoral outreach.
A Moment of Gratitude and Shared Mission
The visit of Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst stands as a meaningful reminder of the unity and purpose that guide our ministries. Together, we continue to walk in the footsteps of Venerable Emmanuel d’Alzon, serving the Church with faith, hope, and dedication.
