Call to Mission

The "Joy" of Lent. A Mass Preface for Lent
speaks of
"this joyful season." As a child I didn't understand the joy
of Lent. But now I am grateful for this call to deeper
prayer,
fasting and almsgiving. If your Lenten joy needs a boost,
read how our missioners are bringing hope and
new
life to a depressed West Virginia mining
community. And if you are looking for a new way to give
alms, consider a gift of
stock to Glenmary.—Father Dominic Duggins, Development Director
