"Teaching and education were the great pastoral activities undertaken by our founder, Fr. Emmanuel d'Alzon. Our mission in education is to form men and women who are free, responsible, bold, full of imagination and capable of developing their potential, finding their place in society and contributing their part to the work of creation. An Assumptionist education is interested in every dimension of human beings and at every stage of their lives." - Assumptionist General Chapter 2017

and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

OPENING PRAYER
Let us pray.

O God, from whom all good things come,
grant that we, who call on you in our need,
may at your prompting discern what is right,
and by your guidance do it.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
