If you haven't yet, you will soon be receiving a letter from Brother David Henley
written as he prepared to make his final profession as a
Glenmary Home Missioner. His Final Oath Ceremony and
Mass has now taken place, and I encourage you to view photos of
this event and learn more about this amazing young man. Brother
David is a blessing to Glenmary and to our home
missions. I hope you will also take this opportunity to continue your support for the 11 men behind him in
formation.
—Father Dominic Duggins, Development Director

Encourage Your Parish to Order Glenmary Mission Ed
Materials
Samples of our new age-appropriate mission ed posters and prayer cards were mailed to every U.S. parish and Catholic school at the end of August. You can give this project a boost by checking to see if your parish's director of religious education or the principal of your Catholic grade school has received them—and then encouraging him or her to place an order.
