 “Our little family” is the way that Father d’Alzon used to refer to the Assumptionists of his time. From our earliest days, this family has included both vowed religious and lay people … and that vision continues today. The religious are at the center of this reality but they make little or no sense alone. Called by God, with Father d’Alzon as our Guide, we all become Assumptionists and together we devote our lives and energy to the Assumptionist mission. We are partners for God’s Kingdom!

During this time when we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Emmanuel d’Alzon, the Assumptionists of the United States Region have become more attuned than ever to this understanding of who we are. On August 14th, the vigil of the feast of the Assumption, we will gather around Father Richard Lamoureux, our Superior General, to celebrate the family that we are.
In this issue of our newsletter, we want to open the pages of our family photo album. We belong to the family in many different ways and times and places. We can’t show you all of it, but we want you to get a sense of what this family looks like! We hope these scenes will remind you of many others that we have shared and in which we all continue to participate. We hope you enjoy them!
