ASSUMPTION RANKED TOP CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IN MASSACHUSETTS
Assumption College has been ranked first in the state of Massachusetts and 10th in the nation by Study.com in its 2019 rankings for the top Christian colleges and universities.
According to Study.com, when ranking the 50 Best Christian Colleges & Universities, the organization "examined and ranked undergraduate and graduate Christian schools in an effort to recognize the top 50 Christian schools in the country." Study.com used a variety of factors, including U.S. Department of Education data, school features, and unique faith-based opportunities for students. The ranking organization also stated that "while most of the schools provide traditional degree programs, they also offer religion-based degrees in addition to religious clubs and organizations to help foster students' spiritual growth."
Assumption was recognized for its "quality education and outstanding student-centered service and ministry opportunities." Study.com's profile of Assumption states that "promoting a philosophy of education that aligns with classical and Christian ideals and values is a primary goal of Assumption College" and that it "provides students with a well-rounded academic and campus living experience that includes a major focused on theology and the ability to foster spiritual, social and intellectual growth through its campus ministry."
JASTER OVERCAME CHALLENGES TO FEEL AT HOME
The article was first reported by The Harbinger
By Eli Cohen-Gordon
Missing milestones such as prom, getting her driver's license and a sweet seventeen was a small price to pay for senior Veronika Jaster in order to spend her junior year studying abroad in France, where she dove headfirst into a foreign culture to get a greater glimpse of the world.
Jaster has been bilingual her whole life. With her parents being first generation Polish immigrants, she learned Polish and English at the same time and started taking French in seventh grade.
"I don't remember a time when I only spoke one language," Jaster said.
After going to Paris on the bi-annual trip organized by French teacher Lauren Osepchuk as a freshman, Jaster knew she wanted to return to France to study.
"That experience was my eureka moment," Jaster said.

A PRAYER FOR THANKSGIVING WEEK
For many people, Thanksgiving is the most truly American of our national holidays, encompassing in its simple and beautiful traditions the highest ideals and greatest aspirations of our country. We believe that these ideals include the need to give thanks to our Creator and so we pray:
O Loving God, your gifts to us are countless and your goodness is without limit. As we come in thanksgiving to You this week, teach us to use the riches of land and sea and to be forever grateful for all the blessings which come from You. Open our hearts to notice and respond to the needs of others that we may give and freely as we have received form You.
With grateful hearts, we thank You this Thanksgiving Week for the many ways you sustain and nourish and protect us, through the gift of life itself, our faith, family and friends with surprises of joy, growth an unconditional love. We make this prayer through Jesus Your Son and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thanksgiving Greetings and Blessings from the Assumption Family!

AN INTERVIEW WITH FR. OSWALDO GARCIA SANCHEZ, A. A.
YOU HAVE TO BE DARING...HERE IS THE EMMANUEL D'ALZON SCHOOL COMPLEX
It has been said quite often that the Assumptionists in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) haven't yet spoken their last word. It is this optimism coupled with many efforts and much sacrifice for the Kingdom of God that can be seen crowned with the the Emmanuel d'Alzon school complex situated on the outskirts of Kinshasa, in N'sele commune, in the township of Mangengenge / Bibwa.
Just a little bit of background….It's been thirty years since the Assumptionists settled in Kinshasa. From the time of their arrival in 1988, the Assumptionists first dedicated themselves to vocation ministry and to the formation of future priests by building a house of theology. Shortly thereafter, they assumed responsibility for the supervision of a parish, Divin Maître à Masina sans-fil, for the evangelization of the People of God.
