Assumption College for Sisters (ACS) has roots that reach back over a century and a half to Paderborn, Germany, where a saintly woman, Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt, founded the Sisters of Christian Charity.  Convinced of the surpassing value of the ministry of education, she required her young Sisters to become as qualified professionally as their lay counterparts.  Simultaneously intent on their religious formation, she provided an integrated program of spiritual, intellectual, and cultural development.  When the Congregation, suppressed in its native land, sent Sisters to new foundations in America in 1873, she retained her commitment to a holistic education of the young Sisters.
