Dear Friends in Christ,
In August 2025, our pilgrimage takes us to Rome, Italy, where excitement and anticipation fill the air, promising spiritual renewal and meaningful encounters. Join our Assumption Youth Pilgrimage Group on this journey of faith and community, where every individual, whether student, resident, lay partner, colleague, relative, or friend, will find a sense of belonging within the vibrant tapestry of our shared devotion.
Every year the Lay Assumptionists at St. Anne & St. Patrick in Fiskdale hold a parish Bake Sale in order to raise funds for the Solidarity Campaign project of the year.
Gather around the fireplace in Pierre’s for a series of conversations on timely issues with other members of the Assumption community! The event is just an hour (5-6 PM on Thursday, March 13), so stop by on your way to dinner or on your way home! All students, faculty and staff are welcome.
For the past few weeks, the focus of migrant ministry as Assumptionists has shifted across the border to Juarez, Mexico, as we have sought to offer assistance at both the city’s Cathedral and Casa del Migrante, the largest migrant shelter in the city.
Nowadays, there is a mirror everywhere: in a bedroom, in a bathroom, in a living room, in a car. I am curious about how the mirror was first discovered. Here is what I learned.
Austin Prep welcomed the Most Reverend Richard G. Henning, the new Archbishop of Boston, to campus as he celebrated a school-wide liturgy for students, staff, and the Assumptionists.
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5. Ashes will be blessed and distributed at 8 AM Morning Prayer and Mass and at 12 Noon Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit.
Assumption’s third annual Black History Month Ecumenical Service will be celebrated this Thursday, February 20 at 7:00 PM in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. Leading the service will be Dr. Conway Campbell, Vice President for Student Success and an ordained Baptist minister.
Students at Trinity Catholic Academy got to do that last Friday – and they took the opportunity eagerly. For Catholic Schools Week, priests visited classrooms. Among them were Assumptionist Fathers Luc Martel and John Franck, temporary administrator and associate pastor, respectively, of St. Anne and St. Patrick Parish in Sturbridge.
The last month, it has been an honor to meet representatives and leaders of various organizations, who are also dedicated to the mission of helping the migrant crisis. I have seen the tangible impact of fostering involvement and teamwork among our local community.
