On Saturday, August 28, the feast of St. Augustine, our father, in the outdoor pavilion of St. Anne's Shrine in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, thousands of miles away from their homeland, but surrounded by hundreds of their fellow countrymen, parishioners, friends, and members of the Assumption family, male and female, Brothers Clemente Boleche, Jr., Alex Castro, and Carlos Melocoton made their first vows, committing their lives freely and fully to God in the Augustinians of the Assumption. Their profession marks another important step in the dream of an Assumptionist foundation in the Philippines, scheduled for the summer of 2006. The ceremony was capped off by a delightful and delicious meal of Filipino dishes, including lechon (roast pig). Filipino song and dance followed, of course. Together with their brother, Ricky Montañez, who made his first vows in January in Chile, Clem, Alex, and Carlos will begin seminary studies at St. John's Seminary in Boston in September. ::PICTURE GALLERY

From January 15 to February 4 Fr. John, our provincial, visited the Philippines and Vietnam. He had the opportunity to meet with 22 young men who showed an interest in the congregation. Halfway through his visit to the Philippines he was joined by Fr. André Antoni, the provincial of France, and Benoît Grière, his assistant, who came to understand better the Filipino reality and to see first-hand the many formation centers which the Philippines has to offer. On January 26 the three of them travelled to Vietnam. In the past ten years a large number of Vietnamese students have come to France and joined the Assumptionists. This visit was an opportunity to meet with various Church authorities to clarify our future in Vietnam, to see other young men interested in coming, and to visit the parishes and villages of those who have already come.

The Assumptionists of the North American Province have begun a journey which we hope will lead us to establish ourselves in the Philippines. With the encouragement of the Religious Sisters of the Assumption (who have been in the islands for many years) and with the blessings of the leadership of the Filipino Church, we have begun to accept young candidates from the Philippines. Currently, we have four novices and five candidates, as well as one Vietnamese candidate. On Monday, October 13, a group of men and women (lay people and religious) interested in making this dream come true met at Saint Anne’s Parish in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, to celebrate Saint Lorenzo Ruis and, under his patronage, to begin plans to support and fund this exciting project.
Thanks to those who took part … and to all those who will join our team in the weeks and months ahead. If you’d like to know more about becoming part of the project, please contact Development Office at 617.783.0400
