It is with great joy that we present to you the September 2024 edition of Arnoldus Nota, in this special month in which we celebrate the anniversary of our congregation. Father Stanislau Lazar, SVD, offers us a reflection on the 150 years of the SVD, inviting us to value our past, reflect on the present, and commit to the healing of a wounded world.

We also briefly review the legacy of our 13 Superior Generals, who have guided our community through wars, crises, and pandemics. We are pleased to announce that from now on, the Anthropos Institute will provide us with a monthly article; in this edition, the topic is the Lamaholot music on the island of Flores, Indonesia.

Please remember to send us your news, in any language, along with photos, before the 20th of each month.

With fraternal affection,
Fr. Luis Antonio Vergara, SVD
Editor of Arnoldus Nota
