SVD Prayer

May 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.

St. Arnold Janssen

Who We Are

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.
