"Our Congregation had such humble, frail and powerless beginnings, so out of proportion in relation to the good that the Lord has already seen fit to bring about through it, that one would hardly dare to recount them, were it not precisely because it is in the absence of all human strength and wisdom that these works reveal themselves to be more purely from God, and were it not for the consoling thought that results for us: that it is Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself Who wished to give birth to our Institute and thereby instill in it a spirit of more particular dependence on His Sacred Person.
The spirit of faith, love for Our Lord Jesus Christ, the desire for His reign, dependence on His guidance, and trust in His Providence are indeed the sole foundations of our work. May God grant that they never cease to be its spirit!"

Dear Sisters and friends:
As we look back with gratitude to the 187 years since our foundation, we ask the Lord to help us remain faithful to the founding grace that our first Sisters embraced with deep faith and passion for Jesus Christ and his Kingdom. May each of us, from our own particular vocation, continue to humbly contribute "our stone to the building" of the Assumption as God envisions it today!
United in joy and thanksgiving Sisters Rekha, Lerma, Sandra, Marthe, and Françoise The General Community
