On May 9th, the Arnoldus Family joyfully gathered in Utrecht to celebrate the 150th Jubilee of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). The event, hosted by SVD at the Adoration Sisters (SSpSAP), brought together members of all three congregations in a spirit of unity and gratitude.

The day began with a moving presentation by Fr. Denis, who offered a profound reflection on the theme of growth and transformation in the life of Saint Arnold Janssen. His inspiring words set the tone for the group discussions that followed, during which participants shared personal experiences of transformation and growth inspired by the founder’s legacy.

A central highlight of the celebration was the Holy Eucharist—a moment of deep spiritual communion and thanksgiving. The gathering concluded with a joyful meal in the sisters’ garden, further nurturing the sense of family and shared mission.

The SSpSAP sisters expressed their joy in hosting this meaningful event, and all who attended were grateful for the opportunity to celebrate this special jubilee together—as one family, united in the vision and mission of Saint Arnold Janssen.
