Dear Arnoldus Family,
Peace and blessings to you on this Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, patron of all who labor with faith and humility.
As we share with you the May 2025 issue of Arnoldus Nota, our hearts are also united in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, a shepherd whose humble witness and prophetic voice deeply marked our times. His support of our missionary charism, especially on the 150th anniversary of the Society of the Divine Word, will forever remain a treasured part of our history.
This issue includes:
- A moving message from Pope Francis, written before his passing, addressed to the SVD family on our Jubilee.
- Reflections on the evolution of SVD identity and our dynamic role in the Church’s mission.
- Highlights and educational resources from the International Mission Conference in Rome.
- Inspiring stories of mission from across the globe.
In addition to the newsletter, we also invite you to watch a special tribute video honoring Pope Francis, prepared by the Generalate Media Department:

We encourage you to read the newsletter and share your thoughts, inspirations, or prayers. Together, let us carry forward the legacy of Pope Francis and Saint Joseph by continuing our mission with humility, courage, and love.
With prayerful solidarity,
Generalate Media Department
