We are experiencing an uptick in vocations among men inspired by our simple yet expansive motto: “Thy Kingdom Come.” What makes us unique? We’re traditional in insisting on the essentials: love of Jesus Christ before any other devotion, and love of his Body the Church. We embrace the Rule of St. Augustine and such monastic values as study, contemplation, silence, fraternal life, and common prayer. But we’re also apostolic, and so we seek to renew society using a language and means that will reach the people of our day. We focus on education in all its forms: university education, but also journalism, ecumenism, foreign missions, parishes, youth and campus ministry, the dialogue between faith and culture, and more. Join us as we transform lives and transform society. Come and see! www.assumptionists.us/vocations. Contact: Fr.
