Saint Marie-Eugénie de Jesus (1817–1898), born Anne-Eugénie Milleret de Brou, was the foundress of the Religious of the Assumption.
Her early life was marked by personal struggles, including her family’s financial loss, her parents’ separation, and the death of her mother. These experiences, along with her deep encounter with God during her First Holy Communion and a later conversion inspired by the preaching of Father Lacordaire, shaped her strong faith and desire to serve others.
At the age of 22, she founded the Religious of the Assumption in 1839, with a mission centered on education and forming individuals grounded in faith and committed to justice. Her vision grew into an international congregation serving in many countries, promoting holistic education and collaboration with the laity. She was canonized in 2007, leaving a lasting legacy of faith, service, and transformation.
Assumption schools across four countries unite in forming globally-minded individuals grounded in faith, excellence, and service.
