Dear friends,
As we celebrate the Nativity of Mother Mary on September 8, we also rejoice in our SVD Foundation Day, born on this sacred date in 1875 in Steyl. This shared birthday is a beautiful reminder that every mission begins with a humble “Yes” to God’s Word.
This Jubilee Year – 150 years of our Society – has been a special time of grace. For us in the INM Province, it’s been more than an anniversary. It has rekindled our passion, challenged us to be bold, and called us to serve in new ways.
In this edition of FRONTIERS, we honour the unique ministries that shape our life and mission—from media and interfaith dialogue to healing, justice, and biblical formation. Each one is a living sign of the Word at work in today’s India, Mumbai Province, especially among those on the margins.
We look ahead with Mary and St. Arnold as our companions. The Jubilee may conclude, but our mission continues—with faith, creativity, and courage.
Thank you to all our friends, benefactors, and collaborators. You’ve walked this journey with us. Let’s carry the Jubilee spirit forward—together.

About Us
Making a Difference in the World
The Society of the Divine Word (SVD) was founded by St. Arnold Janssen on September 8, 1875 in Steyl, a small village in Holland, just across the German border. The members of the society are called the missionaries of the Divine Word and are commonly known as SVDs. “God’s loving grace has gathered us from various peoples and continents into a religious missionary community dedicated to the Divine Word and named after him the Society of the Divine Word” (Prologue of the SVD Constitutions). The members are also known as Styler Missionaries. From the humble beginning the Society of the Divine Word has proliferated and today there are more than 6000 members from different countries spreading the Good News in more than 84 countries in all five continents.
