Nestled in a national forest 20 miles southwest of Paris lies the sleepy village of St. Lambert-des-Bois with its typical stone residences and its picturesque 12th century chapel. Several years ago the Assumptionists were asked to replace a small Benedictine community that some 60 years ago built a lovely retreat and conference center.
It was in this setting that the Assumptionist Plenary General Council/PGC (the superior general, his team, and the six provincials of the congregation) held their semi-annual meeting. During these meetings the PGC discusses any number of recurring topics: openings and closings of houses, the first assignments of newly ordained priests, an evaluation of the mobilizing works of the congregation (such as Assumption College and Bayard Press), the financial state of the congregation, and relations with lay partners. There are in addition to these topics a series of others which touch on the ongoing life of the institute.

Father of all nations and ages, we recall the day when our country claimed its place among the family of nations; for what has been achieved we give you thanks, for the work that still remains was ask your help, and as you have called us from many peoples to be one nation, grant that, under your providence, our country may share your blessings with all peoples of the earth.

A recent Saturday afternoon saw the re-union of a few classmates who attended the Assumptionist minor seminary together at Our Lady of Lourdes in Cassadaga, NY. Thanks to Frank Aubuchon, who organized the get together at a local restaurant in Worcester, the group enjoyed sharing memories, stories and past experiences of their days in school together. Of most importance were their fond recollections of various Assumptionist priests and brothers who were assigned to the school at that time. It was also an opportunity to ‘catch up’ on their life experiences to the present day. After several hours of sharing these memories with joy and much laughter, all agreed that they would like to get together more often!
