On the Solemnity of the Feast of St. Augustine, the Assumption Family celebrated the Rite of Religious Profession of Bros. Ryan Carlsen, Sagar Gundiga and Fr. Joseph Zhang in temporary vows; and Bro. Blair Nuyda’s perpetual vows at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Assumption College.

Presiding at the Sunday Liturgy and representing Fr. Miguel Diaz Ayllon, A.A., Provincial Superior and Fr. Benoit Griere, A.A., Superior General, Fr. Peter Precourt, A.A., Territorial Superior, received the vows of the brothers. Fr. Richard Lamoureux, A.A., Director of Formation was the homilist.

The Mass and Profession Rite were accentuated beautifully and prayerfully by the music which was under the direction of Assumption’s Margaret Tartaglia and included the Filipino Choir.

After the liturgical celebration, the Assumption Family of brothers, relatives and guests continued the celebration with a simple reception at the Testa Science Center Atrium. Congratulations to our brothers!
