 Community with Fr. Richard On February 6 2006, Father Richard Lamoureux, General Superior, visited the community to help us through our first local Chapter. The objective was to define our mission, values and means to implement it. Here is a summary of our reflection: Our purpose is to build an international, inter-Asian and Christ-centered Assumptionist community, sharing our charism with the Filipino people, attentive to their needs, especially those of the poor. By build we mean we are a founding community that needs to be constructed day-by-day. |

 Bros. Alex, Gilles, Jean-Marie, Bernard and Clemente The installation. The members of the Manila community (1) have finally landed in the Philippines some three weeks ago. Very quickly we took possession of a rented house in Quezon City, close to the Ateneo, a Jesuit University, where the Assumptionist brothers will continue their studies. As soon as we arrived, with the precious help of the Religious of the Assumption, we wandered around in the malls in order to equip the house: a washing machine for the laundry, a gas stove for the kitchen, an air conditioner for the computer room, a drinking water dispenser, etc. We moved into our house on January 25, 2006. Since then, we have been polishing it up nicely and it was no luxury. But it looks solid, a little oldish, and it would need basic repairs if we were to buy it: electricity, plumbing, toilets, windows and window screens. The garden would need also some investment but it offers some possibilities. Then we e-mailed our possible candidates of our arrival. |

Implementation of the General Chapter of 2005
 « Os discípulos de Emaús » Claudio Pastro “Prompted by the Spirit and inspired by Mary’s example, we choose to risk our lives in the adventure of encountering God…” and to go “wherever God is threatened in man and man threatened in the image of God.” (Rule of Life, #24 and 4) The General Council has one essential mission: to implement the decisions of the General Chapter. Consequently, since June, we have studied its decisions and tried to understand its underlying objectives. In this letter, we would like to share with you the thinking that has been ours and to communicate some of the elements of a program of animation that will allow us to implement the Chapter’s decisions.
Of course, we are directing this letter to all Assumptionist religious, the young and the less young, those who are in formation, those who are in retirement homes, those working in their own country or in a far-away mission, those in parishes or schools, those working with the marginalized of our societies, and those in studies. It is also directed to Assumptionist lay people, who share with the religious the charism and mission of our family. |
