There are nearly 7,000 of us Divine Word Missionaries, both Brothers and priests, working in over 65 countries around the world. Each is involved in a particular ministry. While each ministry is unique, they all spread the Word of God. We serve where the Gospel has not yet been preached, or where the local church is not yet viable. We also serve where our talents match a need in the Church.

As you read the following articles about some of our missionaries, you will come to understand our mission more fully.
