We recently heard from former Cassadagan Ron Gaulin who met up with a friend in Rome. He wishes to share this joyous experience with the Assumption family.

“I really enjoy the newsletter and the photos because I look for people I know. So when I knew I was going to Rome, I contacted fellow Cassadagan John Franck and we started e-mailing back and forth.

On the evening of December 30, the first Congolese Assumptionists arrived at the São Paulo airport to begin their new mission in Brazil: Fr. Jules Mumbere Paluku, 37 years old, and Fr. Roger Wasukundi Sivakwirivutwa, 36 years old.

For almost ten years now, the Assumptionist Center in Brighton has been the home of a core group of community members and a residence for young, single men who are studying and/or working in the Boston area who wish to share an experience in Christian community life in the Catholic tradition. They come together on a regular basis to share meals, prayer, recreation and meetings through which they discover how God is working in their daily lives.
