Memories of Father Bishop, Founder of Glenmary: 1886-1953

During this 50th anniversary year of Father Bishop’s death, efforts are underway to collect memories of Father Bishop. The memories of several Glenmary priests and brothers are featured in "William Howard Bishop: Fifty Years After His Death, Glenmarians Share Memories of This Man on a Mission." This article was published originally in the June 2003 Glenmary Challenge.

But others have submitted memories as well.
—To read these memories

Father William Howard Bishop

Glenmary's founder, Father William Howard Bishop, was a man with a dream. Glenmarians today continue that dream, expressed in these words from their 11th General Chapter in 1995:

"Alive with the fire of the Holy Spirit, the Glenmary Home Missioners go out to rural and small-town U.S.A., where the Catholic Church is not yet effectively present, proclaiming and witnessing to the Good News of Jesus Christ and the power of God's love, mercy and justice transforming the world."

Glenmary priests, brothers and coworkers staff over 50 Catholic missions and ministries,
establishing the Catholic Church in small-town and rural America. 513-874-8900
