As we come to the end of the Christmas/Epiphany Season, we as Church have much to celebrate and look forward to as our brothers in Assumption have concluded their Provincial Chapter in North America, as it has reflected on the past and will impact the entire congregation in the future.

Along with several members of the Lay/Religious Alliance, Assumptionists from Canada, the U.S., Mexico and the Philippines, countries which constitute this province, met for six days to pray, discuss significant issues, assess achievements and challenges and plan for the future growth of the congregation with regard to fostering their vitality in the living out of their mission through their community life and apostolates. In order to do this, the chapter participants focused on resources, both personnel and financial, vocations, formation and the need to look at existing structures in the congregation.
