We are pleased to present the June-July 2024 issue of Arnoldus Nota, marking a significant moment for the Society of the Divine Word: the 19th General Chapter. This important gathering will bring together 153 participants, including 120 voting capitulars, from the ASPAC, EUROPE, AFRAM, and PANAM zones.

This issue provides detailed information about the Chapter. You will learn about our capitulars and the staff supporting them. We outline the month-long agenda of the Chapter and the weekly activities. Additionally, Father Superior General offers a reflection on the journey of this 19th General Chapter and our future direction.

We urge all confreres to pray and invoke the Holy Spirit throughout the Chapter. Let us seek the Spirit’s guidance and wisdom as we undertake this important journey. May our prayers and efforts support the Chapter’s work and help us discern the path forward for the Society of the Divine Word. Please watch the video heralding the 19th General Chapter.

In Christ,
Fr. Sonny de Rivera SVD
Outgoing Editor of Arnoldus Nota
