On a Mission for Education

Divine Word College
2009 Annual Appeal

As the only Catholic seminary college dedicated to the education of missionary Brothers and priests, Divine Word College has welcomed young men since 1964. We celebrate diversity at DWC and our missionaries share the Word of God worldwide in over 70 countries.

In the past 30 years, the majority of our students have been Vietnamese immigrants with a strong Catholic heritage. As part of our goal to broaden our mission, we want to share our excellent educational and multicultural resources with other Catholic religious missionary orders.

In the past year we have welcomed Vietnamese missionary Sisters and priests as students. As they learn English and continue college studies here, they will develop the skills, knowledge, faith and resources to empower them in their missionary work in Vietnam.

Divine Word College has a commitment to serving cultural minorities, the poor and marginalized and those hungry for spiritual development. By sharing our resources with other Catholic missionary students, we continue to spread the Divine Word where it has not yet been heard.

Our Vietnamese Sisters and priests need your help with room and board, plus books and medical expenses while they are students at Divine Word College. Your gift to the 2009 Annual Appeal will help them to learn English, the universal language, and then enter our college degree program.

Thank you for your generous support of our past Annual Appeals. Our goal for this year’s Annual Appeal is $90,000. Your gift can help with the education of missionary Sisters and priests from Vietnam. Thank you for helping us to reach our goal with a gift to the 2009 Annual Appeal.
