The College had been founded by the Jesuits in 1857, but they stayed only one year. In 1858, a Basilian, Father Joseph Malbos, CSB, shepherded the College through the process of Incorporation. A more permanent contingent of Basilians came in 1870 under the leadership of Father Denis O\u2019Connor, CSB, who later became Bishop of London and then Archbishop of Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 150 years, the Basilians\u2019 presence has helped shape the Windsor\/Essex community. They have continued to serve in the community at Assumption Parish, the oldest parish in Canada, west of Montreal. As administrators of the now named Assumption University, they oversaw decisions that transitioned the college from a minor seminary focused on preparing students for the priesthood to offering a liberal arts curriculum to appeal to lay students. It became federated with the University of Windsor in 1962. In more recent years, their influence led to the establishment of the Canadian Catholic Institute of Bioethics at Assumption University in 2014 to address issues of Catholic bioethics for the Windsor\/Essex community.<\/p>\n<p>Festivities at Assumption Parish to celebrate this landmark year were planned for the summer of 2020. These plans were cancelled to comply with local public health guidelines and regulations related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>photo 1:<em> Members and friends of The Corporation of the Basilian Fathers of
