St. Arnold Janssen founded Divine Word Missionaries in 1875 on a simple but profound conviction: education transforms lives. That same spirit present in his classroom in Germany more than 150 years ago lives on today in parishes in Papua New Guinea, in poor communities in Mexico and in all 79 countries where we serve the vulnerable and marginalized.

With your support, Divine Word Missionaries bring opportunity through education to form young people in mind, heart and spirit. Your generosity equips children with school supplies, assists with school expenses and provides the spiritual formation they need to rise above poverty — creating a brighter future for the Catholic Church and for our world as a whole.
