Every year at about this time, we get a few more calls than usual from men wanting to information about Glenmary priesthood and brotherhood. The Holy Spirit seems to be stirring hearts this time of year to consider religious life. Maybe, this Lenten season, you will feel this stirring within yourself as the Lord my be calling you to look deeper at a religious vocation. Our college aspirancy program at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, is one way to begin exploring a call to Glenmary priesthood. One who has begun that exploration is J. Carlos Miguel Lopez, an aspirant who is a student in our Mexico aspirancy program. If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to call me at 513-633-5953 or email me. Please remember Father Steve and Father Vic Subb who are traveling in Africa through the first weeks of February. May the Lord give you peace—keep praying!
