I am pleased to announce the schedule of events for the dedication of the Tinsley Campus Ministry Center. This distinctive addition to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit is an important expression of the College’s Catholic mission and identity. The Center will allow our Campus Ministry staff to expand and enrich its programs that will contribute to the spiritual formation of our students. The centerpiece of the Center is the Heritage edition of The Saint John’s Bible, as Assumption is the only college in New England to own this magnificent work.
Father Superior General had asked me to be, among the five members of the General Council, the one who would more closely follow the activities of the "North America/Philippines" province. The new Provincial Superior of this province, Fr. Miguel Diaz Ayllon, requested as well that I become a member of the Assumption College Board of Trustees and attend the February meeting. These were the two main factors which led to my visit of the Assumptionist communities in Mexico City and Massachusetts last February.
AS WE CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY AND BEGIN HOLY WEEK Let us reflect on this prayer by Fr. Emannuel d'Alzon, A.A.
"Jesus, you who on the cross were my model, my priest, my king, and my God, you who entrusted me to your mother, who forgave the thief, who thirsted for my salvation and who, after fulfilling the Scriptures, said that everything was finished; you, whose power tore the veil of the Temple, tear the veil of my illusions; you who brought the dead back to life, bring me back to the life of grace; you who split rocks, break the hardness of my heart so that, dying with you, I may also rise to new life with you."
(Praying 15 Days with Emmanuel d'Alzon by Fr. Jean-Paul Perier-Muzet, A.A., p. 55).
