The Society of the Divine Word, also known by its Latin initials SVD (Societas Verbi Divini), marks September 8, 2007 as a day of celebration.
On this day, the Society will celebrate its 132nd Foundation Anniversary as well as the Silver Jubilee of the Philippine Southern Province. This day will also mark the launching of the Centennial Celebration of the SVD in the Philippines (1909–2009).
A concelebrated Holy Mass at the Main Chapel is slated for 5 p.m. with Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal presiding. Dinner follows at the Fr. Bernard Wrocklage Yard. Earlier in the day, the renovated Main Library will be blessed and named after Fr. Joseph Baumgartner, SVD. Fr. Baumgartner is currently living in retirement in Germany.
The basic education departments will have no class on September 8, however in the tertiary level it will remain a regular working and school day. September 8 is also the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The SVD has administered the University of San Carlos since 1935.
