I’d like to sincerely thank the Assumptionist community for the opportunity to serve with the Congregation in Mexico and encounter God’s love during my time there. I spent eighteen days at the Assumptionist parish center in Tlilapan, Veracruz. Throughout the volunteer work and the cultural immersion, it was a joy to serve, learn, and share life with all the people I met.

On Saturday, August 28^th at 11am, our brothers - Matthew-Mary Okereke, Daniele Caglioni, Hugo Morales Ballesteros and Brian Verzella -- will renew their temporary vows as Assumptionists. We invite you to join us for the outdoor Mass at St. Anne and St. Patrick Parish (Fiskdale MA).

Campus Ministry is delighted to welcome our new director of liturgical music Michael Ochoa who began his ministry with us today. Michael received his undergraduate degree in music from the University of Colorado and is currently completing his Masters degree in Theological Studies at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. Michael lives at the Assumptionist Center in Brighton, Massachusetts and will work at Assumption half-time (20 hours/week) this year. Welcome Michael!
