151 years of the Society of the Divine Word

At the heart of St. Arnold Janssen’s spirituality is the mystery of the Triune God - the Father who sends, the Divine Word who becomes flesh, and the Holy Spirit who gathers all into communion. Thus, mission is more than going somewhere or doing something. Mission flows from communion and leads to communion.

We are sent because we have first been gathered into Christ. Different cultures, languages, nations, and stories—yet ONE IN HIM

AMARE ET SERVIRE
To Love and To Serve

Last Sunday, we joyfully commissioned four new altar servers who have generously offered themselves to serve at the altar and in the liturgical life of our community.

May they grow in faith, humility, and love as they serve the Lord and His people. May their ministry always remind them that to serve is to love, and to love is to serve.

May God bless and guide our new altar servers!

Welcome to the ministry!

For the first time, the Feast of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, Patroness of Bicolandia, is celebrated here in Lisbon, Portugal. 🇵🇹🇵🇭

From the heart of Bicol to Lisbon, we carry with us our faith, our devotion, and our love for Ina. May she continue to unite Bicolanos and all her Devotees and lead us ever closer to her Son, Jesus.

VIVA LA VIRGEN! 🤍💛🤍💛

VIVA LA VIRGEN!

Yesterday, after the Tagalog Mass, some of the devotees of Ina, Nossa Senhora de Peñafrancia, pose for a picture after their initial meeting in preparation for the First Peñafrancia Celebration in Lisbon, on September 6, 2026.

Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to Mr. Leo Deliva Sales and Family for bringing Ina to Lisbon and helping make this beautiful devotion possible.

May Ina, continue to bring us closer to Jesus.
