Building Hope Through Education at St. Charles Lwanga Parish
In Chavakati, Uganda, the Assumptionists serve a young and growing parish community with limited resources but extraordinary faith. One of the most urgent needs today is the construction of permanent classrooms for children who otherwise would not have access to education.

Each year, the Assumption Solidarity Campaign invites the communities of the congregation, lay Assumptionist groups, and Assumptionist works (parishes, educational institutions, etc.) to contribute to the financing of the selected project. In 2026, the project selected by the General Plenary Council is the electrification by solar panels of Radio Moto Oicha, one of the three radio stations for which the African Province in Kivu is responsible.

Hey Hounds!

A Changing Reality, A Steady Commitment
As the situation for migrants at the U.S.–Mexico border continues to change, our mission of presence and solidarity remains steadfast.

Hey Hounds!
Last week was amazing; many of our student groups met for the first time, and we hosted a small retreat for our student leaders named “Called to Serve” on Friday night!

Vincent Machozi, AA (’15) will bring together scholars and practitioners from various international contexts affected by these major challenges.

A Living Witness to Christian History
Located within the shrine at St. Anne–St. Patrick Parish in Fiskdale, Massachusetts, the Icon Museum offers visitors a rare opportunity to encounter Christian history in a tangible and deeply moving way. This is not simply a collection of religious artwork, but a testimony to faith that endured persecution, suppression, and near-erasure.

A Place of Prayer and Pilgrimage
Located in Fiskdale, Massachusetts, St. Anne’s and Patrick’s Parish is a sacred place of prayer entrusted to the Assumptionists. The parish serves as a spiritual refuge for pilgrims, families, and visitors seeking peace, reflection, and a deeper encounter with faith. All are warmly welcomed to enter, pray, and spend time in quiet devotion.

Hey Hounds!
