Featured Article: The Society of the Divine Word: Ahead of its Time on Civil Rights - From its earliest days, the Society of the Divine Word (SVD)-the largest Catholic missionary order in the world-has welcomed people from other cultures to sit with them at the table of Christ as equals. This willingness to engage with people of other races, creeds and ethnic origins was never more evident than when the society opened the first seminary for African Americans. Not only was the seminary established decades before the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, but it was established in the Deep South where racial segregation ran the hottest.

 NBCC : SPOTLIGHT

Daughters of Divine Love Congregation

Guest Quarters

The ever-growing number of guests, in particular vocations guests, requires us to plan for a location that is adequate to accommodate them. In order to preserve the atmosphere necessary for contemplation, this area should be outside of the cloister.

Landscaping

Well maintained grounds with a grotto to Our Lady, Stations of the Cross, cemetery, gardens, farms or fields will help the prayer life of the sisters and their guests.

Endowment

At this critical period of growth, it is incumbent upon the Congregation to begin a small endowment that would one day fund a portion of the expenses of maintaining such a large compound.

IV. Fundraising

The total estimated cost of these projects is $2.5 million or N 341,970,000.00. A capital campaign is currently in the planning process. During this fundraising effort, gifts and investments for the Congregation's future can be pledged over a five-year period.

The sisters are very appreciative of past support from the Congregation's many benefactors. It is with a grateful heart that we now turn to the people we serve in the Lord's name to support this fundraising effort.

The Daughters of Divine Love Congregation exists for the glory of God and the salvation of souls through prayer and the mission of Divine Love. In this day and age, the need for their religious witness could not be more plain and clear. The community has been blessed with inspired leadership and a bounty of vocations and knows that "to whom much is given, much will be expected." The sisters hope that individuals will be moved to help them carry the light of Faith and power of Truth and Love to greater numbers by assisting in this campaign to raise funds for building a Motherhouse.
