A Historic First for AU: Celebrate the Feast Day of the President with the Blessing of the Gabriel Mary Research and Learning Center for New Energy Vehicle Technology

WRITER: THE AU LIBRARY

Assumption University of Thailand (AU) proudly invites the entire AU community—administrators, faculty members, staff, students, and distinguished guests—to join a momentous celebration that marks both faith and innovation

On Monday, September 29, 2025, the University will honor the Feast Day of the President, the Archangel St. Gabriel, with the blessing of a truly historic achievement: the “Gabriel Mary” Research and Learning Center for New Energy Vehicle Technology, the first center of its kind in Thailand.

The new center carries profound meaning for AU. Its name unites St. Gabriel, patron saint of Rev. Bro. Sirichai Fonseka, f.s.g., Ph.D., AU President, symbolizing divine guidance and protection, with Mary, honoring the Vincent Mary School of Engineering, Science and Technology representing the pursuit of knowledge and technological excellence. Together, “Gabriel Mary” stands as a powerful symbol of faith, scholarship, and innovation for the future.
