Assumption College San Lorenzo

“Women of faith, women of action”An innovative Catholic college, committed to excellent education forming women servant leaders for social transformation.Inspired by St. Marie Eugenie, we passionately form persons and communities of faith and action through a transformative education that nurtures faith and spirituality, pursues academic excellence for service and instills social responsibility, thus forging “character for life and life for God”.

Purpose and Objectives:

• To foster sensitivity of God’s call in the world and facilitate a joyful witness to faith in Jesus Christ expressed in individual and communal choices for God and country;
• To recognize and affirm the uniqueness and gifts of each person, thus creating an empowered learning community, and
• To nurture a culture of excellence for service that compels the lay and religious to become a life-giving force that would bring about justice, peace, care for creation and social equality.

Our core values are:

• DELIGHT IN THE SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE WITH GOD
• UNIQUENESS OF EACH PERSON
• EXCELLENCE FOR SERVICE
• LEARNING COMMUNITY
• EMPOWERMENT
• COLLECTIVE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Servant leaders who are motivated by their faith, love for country and fidelity to duty,are sensitive and responsive to God’s call,are simple in their being,are reflective and critical thinkers,are innovative and have passion for learning,are effective-communicators.Respect the dignity of persons.Have integrity and the courage to work for truth, justice, peace and care of creation.

What makes “the beauty of a truly Christian society,” for Marie Eugenie, can be glimpsed through the signs of the Kingdom already at work. The Kingdom of justice, peace, and the universal reconciliation of men and women among themselves and with nature, prophesied by Isaiah, has become a reality in Jesus Christ. The Kingdom is already here: it can be seen where men and women form communities, showing by their choice of solidarity, respect, willingness to share, that they are united in moving towards a common destiny.Yet the kingdom is still to come: Marie Eugenie calls us to pray and work that it may come indeed:“We should pray to God that His Kingdom may come….There is…a social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ that we can bring about and for which we should ask him. We are engaged in various apostolic works.
