An open spirit endeavours to reach the heights.
The Mission of the Church is the object of all our zeal.”
Emmanuel d’Alzon

"The love of Our Lord - this is where it all begins ;and where it all ends."
E.d'Alzon

"Apply yourselves to the study of everything that can make you better appreciate what the Church needs most."
E. d'Alzon

With our Assumptionist Brothers - London

Who Are We? PDF Print E-mail

We are:

  • Women of faith who live a life of Contemplation in Action
  • Driven by a love of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Church (to be deepened continually and taken “to the world”)
  • Living in International and Intergenerational Communities
  • With an ardent desire for the Coming of God’s Kingdom:
    • Within us
    •  Between us
    •  Around us
  • Open to the modern world with a Passion for Mission
  • In collaboration with our Brothers: The Augustinians of the Assumption (with whom we share the same Founder)

Faithful to the spirit of our Founder, Emmanuel d’Alzon, we aim to live this mission as:

“daughters of the Church”
    “workers for Unity”

Who seek the Glory of God and the realisation of the ultimate desire of Christ:  “May they be One”.

Ecumenism and Inter-Faith dialogue are, therefore, foremost in all that we do.

Our Motto is : Thy Kingdom Come
