A Message from Father Dominic

Dreaming New Dreams

Through the generosity of our donors Glenmary is able to continue spreading—and living—the Good News of Jesus Christ in the rural, isolated areas of Appalachia, the South and the Southwest.

Glenmary’s founder dreamed of the conversion of America. He had a vision of a religious society dedicated to establishing the Church in the neglected regions of America and he hoped the society members would do all they could to help those they served improve their temporal welfare as well.

We Glenmarians all share this dream and vision of our founder, as do people like you who support our ministry. And it is a dream we need to rekindle constantly.While our goals remain the same, new problems must evoke new methods; new struggles demand new ways to look at the world. But we know, just as Father Bishop did, that within our dreams and visions the Holy Spirit is present.

This month we celebrate what has been accomplished and rededicate ourselves to the mission work still to be done. We also celebrate you and all Glenmary’s partners in mission and thank you for walking with us as we serve the people living in the home missions.

Sincerely in Christ,

Father Dominic R. Duggins
First Vice President
Director of Development
