Quick Summary

The Augustinians of the Assumption, also known as Assumptionists, are a Roman Catholic congregation founded in 1845 by Emmanuel d'Alzon in NƮmes, France. This order is dedicated to education and missionary work. They operate under a rule based on that of St. Augustine, a foundational figure in Western theology. The congregation received papal approval in 1864 and also established a women's congregation, the Oblates of the Assumption, to support their efforts.123
