Our Founder
Our congregation, the Augustinians of the Assumption (A.A.) or “Assumptionists”, was founded in 1845 by Fr. Emmanuel d’Alzon. It is at once modern and steeped in the Tradition, rooted in the common life in view of proclaiming the Good News to people. Our motto prompt us to work for the coming of Christ’s Reign in us and around us: “Thy Kingdom Come”!
Our Spirituality
We Assumptionists are men of faith, fraternity, and action. “Jesus Christ is at the center of our life” (Rule of Life #2). The Gospel is our inspiration in the great struggles of our time. We are dedicated to bringing about the Kingdom of God, within us and around us. Our food is the Word of God read, contemplated, and celebrated in the Church.
