A gathering for young adults (18-35) on Monday evenings, coming together to slow down, make space for God, and explore what He might be saying to us through scripture and art.

We’ll begin at 6.30pm in the Maria Assumpta Chapel with a time of adoration, followed by a passage of scripture or a piece of art, and time to reflect and share together.

Yesterday, on the feast of St Augustine, the Twickenham community of the Assumption Sisters had the joy of welcoming Sr Therese to join their community (with an amazing Lithuanian cake made by Sr Danguole, complete with a heart & flames for St Augustine!)

Happy 209th birthday to St Marie Eugénie! 🎉

Anne Eugénie Milleret de Brou was born on 26 August 1817 in Metz, France. Twenty-two years later, she founded the Congregation of the Religious of the Assumption.

Today, we give thanks to God for her life, her vision and her spirit, and for the mission she entrusted to us, her Assumption family, to continue.

A special day to remember and give thanks for the life of St Marie Eugénie and all that she began 💜

“God has destined each one of us to resemble Jesus Christ. How eager we should be to form Him in us…”

A few more photos of our Assumption celebrations, of Sr Danguole's Assumption tart 😊
It is debated when Assumption tart was first made, but this jam tart (always with apricot jam & cut into triangles - no one knows why) is part of Assumption festivities in convents & schools around the world. The story is that the first sisters were so poor this was all they had for celebratory dessert - but it has lasted through 175 years or so!

On this feast of the Assumption, Assumption sisters from the 3 communities in England came together to celebrate, with mass and a lovely lunch in St Catherine's community. We prayed for Sr Chantal and Sr Irene of our province of Europe who died yesterday, and rejoiced in the promise that they had gone home to God on the feast of the Assumption.

🌿 The Feast of the Assumption of Mary 🌿

Today we celebrate with great joy the Feast of the Assumption of Mary — a mystery at the heart of our identity and vocation as the Religious and friends of the Assumption.

The mystery of the Assumption is not simply about explaining how Mary’s passage to the fullness of God took place. It invites us to contemplate its meaning for our own lives.

“The mystery of the Assumption is our final destiny and the beacon that shows us the way.”

Mary, our companion on the journey, teaches us to rise above what is not essential, to transform our old habits and useless paradigms, and to place our thoughts and affections in God.

The Assumption challenges and inspires us to joy and hope. Mary already lives what each of us pursues throughout our existence: fullness and happiness shared with all in God.

On this feast, may Mary help us live processes of conversion, transformation, and humanisation, becoming ever more a “faithful image of Christ” and witnesses of hope, peace, and life in our world.

🙏 Happy Feast of the Assumption!

The unity of community remains unbroken when the sisters are sent out in its name, for they are always members of the same body.

✨ Assumption of Mary Mini Retreat ✨

Young Adults gathered at St Mary’s University Chapel in Twickenham for a mini retreat in preparation for the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. 🙏

We began with a shared lunch and midday prayer, before Sr Christine R.A. led us in an inspiring reflection on the Assumption of Mary. She invited us to pause and consider who Mary is to each of us personally, before sharing our thoughts and reflections in small groups.

We ended the day with some social time at the Sisters’ Convent, enjoying each other’s company — and of course, some ice cream! 🍦😊

As the Feast of the Assumption approaches, we invite you to pause and ponder: Who is Mary to you?
