The community gathers daily in prayer and song to give praise and thanks to God and to intercede for our friends and benefactors. Music and song are integral parts of the worship experience at Divine Word College. The College seeks to enhance the community's liturgical prayer with a serious upgrade in musical equipment through the purchase of a grand piano. The addition of this piano will enable the College to offer a level of musical quality in our worship services that is now standard at similar institutions, while fostering enhanced performances by our students in their educational pursuits. A recently installed air-conditioning system will provide adequate climate control to eliminate excessive moisture.
Full improvements require repairs to deteriorated wall surfaces.
Students spend considerable time practicing music for liturgical events, recital performances, and other extra-curricular events, and this improvement will render the Music Education area inviting and comfortable for them. Improvements to Central Gathering Area - Central to sharing among the multiple cultures present within our student body is the dining area which serves as the gathering place for many events each year, including festive celebrations of Mission Sunday, Lunar New Year, and banquets recognizing Matthew 25 and Donaghey recipients, as well as Graduation day. Many improvements have been made, but we are still in need of a new ceiling and lighting, refurbishment of three walls and window treatments to beautify the surroundings. The Weyland Art Gallery is an important part of the College's educational program and outreach to the public. Through the Weyland Gallery, the College celebrates the achievement of a variety of visual artists and celebrates art across cultures.
