✨ A warm welcome to the new Assumption Volunteers!

After two weeks of orientation, prayer and team-building, they are now beginning their placements at KidsKabin in Newcastle! 🙌

As they settle into their new community and start this year of service, please keep them in your prayers. May it be a time of growth, friendship and many new experiences. 💫

Welcome to the 2026/27 Assumption Volunteers in England! 🇬🇧✨

We are so excited to accompany them as they begin their journey of service and mission with KidsKabin in Newcastle.

To kick off their orientation, we began with a visit to the Sisters’ Convent in Twickenham, where the volunteers had the opportunity to learn more about the beginnings of KidsKabin from Sr Christine, one of the project’s founders.

A beautiful start to their time with us as they discover the spirit, mission and story behind the work they will be part of this year. 💙

💜 With grateful hearts we mark the end of 2025/26 with the Assumption Volunteers in the UK as we say thank you and God bless! You'll be missed 🫶🏽

🙏🏽 This weekend we gathered for a final reflection day, a farewell Mass on the Feast of the Assumption, and a celebration together.

💫 It was a chance to look back on a year of service, community, friendship and growth.

😎 Thank you for your kindness, generosity, joy and patience. All the care and love for the children you supported, and for the mission you carried.

😇 Like Mary, you said yes — and it made a difference!

Today, AMA volunteer Kitty Enright completes her year of service. We are deeply grateful for her dedication to the children of Middlesbrough and Newcastle.

Throughout the year, Kitty faced challenges with steadfast faith, courage, and perseverance. We admire her commitment and the compassionate way she shared her life with so many children.

While it will be difficult to say goodbye to her AMA friends, staff, and the many children whose lives she touched, we know they will remain in her heart forever.

God bless you, Kitty, as you begin this new chapter of your life’s journey. You go with our love, gratitude, and prayers. 🙏❤️

Over the weekend, we took part in an African Mass, where we enjoyed a joyful celebration filled with music and dancing 🎶💃🏽🕺🏽 We got to sing “Happy Birthday” to everyone celebrating a birthday in June, including Guille, Assumption Volunteer! 🎉🎂

Afterwards, we shared a meal with the community and danced the evening away 🍽️❤️

We are grateful to Fr. Jude and the rest of the community for inviting us and welcoming us with such love and joy🫶🏽 We hope we were able to share that same spirit with all those we encounter and can visit one last time before we leave🙏✨

Over the weekend, the Assumption Volunteers enjoyed a visit to St Cuthbert’s Cave, taking in the peaceful surroundings and walking through the beautiful Northumberland landscape. It was a great opportunity for reflection, connection, and time together in nature.
