The goal of Glenmary’s Formation Department is to facilitate and guide the task of providing dedicated Glenmary Missioners who are adequately developed as Christian persons committed to the public witness of the evangelical counsels lived in the context of the Glenmary way of life and who have the qualified skills of Priests or Brothers so that they can serve effectively in the apostolate of Glenmary.
Glenmary’s Formation Department works with all of Glenmary’s men in formation to help them discern their call to, and deepen their appropriation of, the Glenmary Way of Life. Glenmary’s Way of Life involves priests and Brothers serving in rural areas and small towns of the United States where the Catholic population is less than 1 percent, and where the Catholic Church is not fully established. Glenmary’s 3 stages of formation are the Pre-Novitiate, the Novitiate, and the Post-Novitiate. These stages involve formal studies, cultivation of one’s relationship with God, appropriation of Glenmary’s charism, and mission experiences.
