Assumption University of Thailand, in a grand display of faith and reverence, recently commemorated the Feast of the Assumption on August 15, 2023. This pivotal day in the Christian tradition marks the belief that the Virgin Mary did not die, she was assumed, by God, body and soul into heaven.
The Feast carries unique importance for Assumption University, as our University is named in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary "Our Lady of the Assumption." Every year, the AU community gathers to pay homage, ensuring the spirit and legacy of the Feast remain ever vibrant within the institution's corridors.
To set the tone for the day, a solemn Holy Mass was celebrated at the St. Louis Marie de Montfort Chapel. The service serves as testament to the deep spiritual connection the university shares with its patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Upon conclusion of the Mass, members of the AU community were invited to pay their respects at the “Seat of Wisdom”, a statue that signifies the Virgin Mary as the dwelling place of Christ – the Supreme Wisdom. The annual Crowning Ceremony was a memory making moment, taking place on the steps of the iconic Cathedral of Learning at AU’s Suvarnabhumi Campus.
