Centennial Celebration: Open the Doors
Sunday, July 26 | 5:00pm Mass & Reception
Ancillae Assumpta Academy | 2025 Church Road, Wyncote, PA

Our Centennial Celebration will be a joyous gathering of family members, friends, former students, retreatants, neighbors and collaborators. Together we will give thanks for the grace that has guided our first century and pray for God’s light as we cross the threshold into the next. This celebration will take the place of our annual spring Journey of Hope fundraiser.

This winter our Sisters engaged in a deep communal discernment of our apostolic priorities. We clarified that our “way of being” is accompaniment: to walk in a synodal spirit, listen deeply, discern together, and journey in solidarity. As Eucharistic women, we are called to adore Christ both in the chapel and in one another — offering the gift of presence, time, and attentive love.

To live our mission of accompaniment fully, we need your partnership. Your gift to our Centennial Fund during this historic year will help us plan boldly and respond faithfully. We invite you to consider a contribution at one of the following levels:

• $10 and up: With Love and For Love
  • Every gift is a meaningful sign of solidarity. Our mission is to listen to the heartbeat of Christ and live "with love and for love."

• $100 and up: United like the Fingers of a Hand
  • A sustaining investment in our shared mission. St. Raphaela, our foundress, called us to live united in community — “like the fingers of a hand.”

• $1,000 and up: For the Greater Glory of God
  • A transformative gift that strengthens formation and outreach. Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, we seek to give our all in service "for the greater glory of God."

• $10,000 - $100,000: Faithful to the End
  • A visionary gift that anchors our Centennial goal and secures the future of our charism. We stand on the shoulders of Handmaids who have gone before us, women who lived "faithful to the end." Their courage inspires our own.

Your gift is a sharing in the mission with us, and any amount makes a difference.

At the Centennial Celebration, I will share more about where we believe God is leading us as we step into our second century. It promises to be a joyful and hope-filled evening. Kindly RSVP at www.aci-us.org/centennial. I hope you will join us!

Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for walking with us. And thank you, in advance, for your generosity during this historic year.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jessica Kerber, aci, Provincial
