The Lord challenges our faith to do something new, precisely when so many things are collapsing in the Church.
St. Arnold Janssen
We are an international congregation of Catholic missionary priests and Brothers founded in 1875 by Arnold Janssen. We work primarily where the Gospel has not been preached at all or only insufficiently and where the local Church is not yet viable on its own.
St. Arnold JanssenMay the darkness of sin and the night of unbelief vanish before the light of the word and the spirit of grace. And may the heart of Jesus live in the hearts of all.
For years, we have engaged in a number of ministry actions, aimed at broadly helping the missionary Church.
Parish Ministry has been at the centre of missionary activity of the SVD in Ghana and Liberia.
Through the Orthopedic Training Centre (OTC) at Nsawam, we are able to help in the rehabilitation of the physically challenged in Ghana and those from other countries.
The Lord challenges our faith to do something new, precisely when so many things are collapsing in the Church.
St. Arnold Janssen
There is only one thing I am concerned about, that we never move, even the smallest distance away, from the will of God.
St. Joseph Freinademetz
