About Society Of The Divine Word
The Society of the Divine Word is a Roman Catholic missionary order founded in 1875 by St. Arnold Janssen, representing the largest such order dedicated to missionary work worldwide. The organization's presence in Bay Saint Louis reflects its broader mission across North America, with roots extending back to 1895 when the first Divine Word Missionary arrived on the New Jersey Shore. Today, the Society operates across three provinces in North America, with the Chicago Province serving as the largest in the Western Hemisphere, comprising over 250 men from 27 countries speaking more than 20 languages. The community emphasizes prophetic dialogue and respect for cultural differences as core values in their approach to service and faith. Visitors to this parish can expect to encounter a welcoming community rooted in Catholic tradition and dedicated to showing God's love through both local and global missionary work.
