MISSION HOME AND MISSION OFFICE

MISSION HOME

The Mission Home is the "pre-departure" area of SVD missionaries waiting for their travel to their assigned mission areas. It is their home as they prepare themselves for the challenging task of bringing God's Word the whole world as Divine Word Missionaries. This is also the resting place of those who are coming home to the Philippines for their well-deserved home vacation after a strenuous and challenging mission in different parts of the world.

MISSION OFFICE

SVD Mission Office was primarily established to help in the evangelical and missionary task of the Church and of the Society through the active participation of our lay mission partners and collaborators. It aims to contribute in the mission animation of the SVD through various programs and activities that promote awareness in the Church mission.

VILLA CRISTO REY

Chapel

Villa Cristo Rey (VCR) is located at the heart of the Christ the King Seminary compound. It is a retirement and nursing home for the sick and the retired SVD Missionaries, who after dedicating the best years of their lives working in various parts of the Lord’s vineyard, are now old and infirm to continue in the active service. They now continue this service thru prayer and meditation, which in itself is as important as active service.
