“What’s a Digital Exhibit?”

Abstract

The Society of the Divine Word (SVD) is a Catholic men’s religious community dedicated to missionary work. Founded by St. Arnold Janssen in 1875, the SVD currently boasts a worldwide community of over 6,000 priests and brothers serving in over 70 countries. Along with foreign mission work in countries such as China, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Ghana, SVDs in North America also established a host of domestic missions. They were among the first Catholic missionaries to minister specifically to Black Americans, leading to the order’s creation of the first Black Catholic seminary in the United States, St. Augustine in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
