Spiritual Life

Assumption welcomes and supports students who are Catholic, from other religious traditions, and nonreligious.

Student Experience

As a Catholic and Assumptionist university, Assumption seeks to transform the minds and hearts of students and to shape their souls. Here you will find friends who are exploring and developing their faith, a team of pastoral ministers who seek to model faithful witness to Jesus Christ and who build relationships with students of all faith traditions, and diverse opportunities to mature spiritually.

What do you seek? Come and see!

A rewarding career. Friendship. A clear understanding of your ideals and goals. Making a real difference in the world. All of these elements are crucial to leading a happy and purposeful life.

At Assumption, leading such a life begins with knowing that you are made in the image and likeness of God who deeply loves you. The opportunities you will have to grow spiritually at Assumption will empower you to respond to Pope Francis’ invitation to young people: “You are the ones who hold the key to the future! Continue to fight apathy and to offer a Christian response to the social and political troubles emerging in different parts of the world.”
