150 Years of Divine Word Missionaries

The India Central Province of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) marked its sesquicentennial jubilee with a vibrant celebration at St. Arnold’s Seva Sadan, Indore, drawing together hundreds of priests, religious, lay partners, and well-wishers in a spirit of thanksgiving and joy.

In 1875, a young German priest named Arnold Janssen heard the cry of the world and answered it with the Word of God.
