Saint Philip inspires us to dedicate ourselves to living lives of service, kindness, and spiritual growth. I'm deeply grateful to the AU community for sharing in this celebration and for their support throughout the years."
The gathering at Brother Amnuay's office brought the AU community together in a spirit of unity and joy, reflecting on the legacy of a man who has dedicated his life to spiritual guidance, education, and the moral development of others. As the Feast Day of Saint Philip approaches, the community is reminded of the values and faith that have shaped Brother Amnuay's life and leadership.
The Assumption University community is invited to extend their best wishes to Brother Amnuay during this special time, honoring his lifetime of service and leadership. May we all be inspired by his example and the legacy of Saint Philip to live lives of faith, service, and compassion.
