Grace-filled greetings on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

The August 2026 edition of Arnoldus Nota, brings together stories and reflections that connect us in our shared mission.

This edition features an article on self-reliance in SVD missionary work, prepared by the Generalate Leadership Team, highlighting the call to move from dependence toward sustainability and solidarity. We also journey with the Mexico-Cuba Province and CAM Region through their General Visitations and highlight the SVD presence at the 12th Plenary Assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC). Other zonal reports offer glimpses of how our confreres, partners, and communities continue to live the SVD mission in diverse contexts around the world.

May these stories strengthen our missionary communion, help us learn from one another, and inspire us to continue walking together in the Missio Dei. Kindly share this edition with the confreres in your respective Province, Region, or Mission. Thank you for your continued collaboration with Arnoldus Nota.

May Mary, assumed into heaven, accompany and strengthen us in our missionary journey.
