DWC World Newsletter Spring 2026

 

Missionaries for a Global Church

This issue highlights how future missionaries are formed through academic excellence, community life, and hands-on ministry.

You will learn about the novitiate application process for SVD candidates who are preparing to take the next step in religious life. Meet two students from East Timor continuing their formation in the ESL program, reflecting DWC’s global missionary identity.

Fr. Tom Ascheman’s reflection, “Glory!”, reminds us that true greatness is found in humble service. The issue also celebrates the college’s full 10-year reaccreditation by the Higher Learning Commission.

Additional features include a powerful vocation story from Vietnam, a look at students serving in liturgical roles on campus, and the English Conversation Partner Program, where language learning becomes friendship and mission in action.
