Augustinians of the Assumption Assumptionists #1118

From the very beginning, the Augustinians of the Assumption (Assumptionists) have been engaged in a wide variety of apostolic works. All that advances the coming of the Reign of God has always been deemed worthy of our apostolic energy.

It’s a preference for the poor, in response to the Gospel and to the Church calling us today to be on their side. For us too it’s a consequence of our own vow to live as poor men. Some will dedicate themselves full-time to this work: with marginalized people of every kind, in hospitals and in prisons, “worker priests” or volunteers in different organizations … But all of us try to live in union with the poor, because “the poor will always be with us” because the poor are too often neglected even within the Church. This is a bias that the Assumption encourages.

Our Province of North America is specifically responsible for the missions in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania), Mexico, and the Philippines. We provide personnel and financial assistance that is indispensable in order to maintain our charitable works (schools and nurseries) and formation programs for both laity and clergy in these countries. Many of our apostolates in these countries specifically work to better the living conditions of the impoverished brothers and sisters we live with and minister to.  In the Philippines, we sponsor education and aid programs for underprivileged villages both in the Manilla area and in other mission centers. Our parish in Orizaba, Veracruz Mexico ministers to an underserved indigenous community.
