I last attended Divine Word College in 1981, but I continue to be inspired by their efforts to train men (and now women) for Catholic missionary service.
Thanks for helping me raise money for students who are now studying at Divine Word College in Epworth, Iowa. Your support means that they can continue their language studies and undergraduate studies as they discern their call to religious life and prepare for a lifetime of Catholic missionary service.
Thank you for any amount that you can give!
Divine Word College Cycle Challenge
The first-ever Divine Word College Cycle Challenge allows YOU to support DWC students who are studying for a lifetime of Catholic missionary service. Many of the students at this intercultural college have limited financial means but no one who is seriously considering religious life is turned away. All fundraising for the event will benefit the education of the students at Divine Word College Seminary in Epworth, Iowa.
In this VIRTUAL CYCLING EVENT, you can
- Set your own distance goal!
- Ride outside or indoors on a stationary bike - it's all about what's convenient for you!
- Get involved for FREE because there's no registration fee!
- Make a GLOBAL IMPACT by raising money to support the education of Divine Word College students who come from all over the world!
Help us reach our goal of raising $22,000 - that's how much it costs to cover tuition and room & board for one student at DWC for the academic year!

Students from around the world come to the small town of Epworth, Iowa to study at Divine Word College—the only Roman Catholic seminary in the U.S. dedicated to educating men and women for missionary service.
Although Divine Word is the smallest college in Iowa, it plays an important role in the largest international missionary order of men in the Catholic Church, the Society of the Divine Word (Societas Verbi Divini or SVD).
