Welcome to Techny
The Society of the Divine Word (SVD), an international order of Roman Catholic priests
and brothers, first settled this land in 1899. Since then, it has been an anchor
for the Order's missionary work in over 60 countries on six continents. Throughout
most of the 20th century, the Society cultivated the land, providing food for the
members of the Order, the seminarians who studied at Techny, and the students who
attended the primary school there. It also provided much-needed income for the Society.
Today, the Society continues to use the land to support its work throughout the
world, leasing the land to developers to construct their respective residential,
retail, commercial and recreational projects.
