MISSION TO GEORGIA

The difference between the Kenyan home of Franciscan Sisters Imelda Ngwitu and Ancilla Abonyo and their current location in Southwest Georgia might be even greater than the 12,000 miles that separate them. The Sisters relocated from an overwhelmingly Catholic culture to a place where the faith remains something of a mystery. They were dropped in […]

FATHER VIC HELPS STRAINED MIGRANT WORKERS

Fr. Vic poses with farmworkers.

When the bad weather ruined watermelon fields in eastern North Carolina, migrant farmworkers lost their jobs and didn’t get a salary for over a month. With their families back in Mexico waiting for economic support and without any savings in the United States, these laborers struggled to get food. “The watermelons rotted and there was […]

OUR LADY OF THE FIELDS

Mary, patroness of Glenmary, reveals her love for rural people in a French apparition that took root in modern North America. By Brother Thomas Nguyen One of Glenmary’s lesser-known treasures is our devotion to Our Lady of the Fields. But who is she? Why is she the patroness of the Glenmary Home Missioners? It was […]

WE GIVE THANKS

It’s more than Thanksgiving community dinner tradition to this Glenmarian; it’s a sign of the kingdom of God.

FROM SMALL TOWNS TO THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH

“Where do you celebrate the Eucharist?” Glenmary asked. Three thousand people answered. Deacon Joseph Maundu looked around at the thousands of people gathered on the streets of downtown Indianapolis. “Have you ever been around this many people in your life?” he asks Pat Ioas, a parishioner of Glenmary’s St. John Paul II mission in Grainger […]

GLENMARY’S FOURTH OATH

“I am aware that the Glenmary way of life commits me to a special practice of poverty, chastity, obedience, and prayer.” — Glenmary’s Final Oath When a Glenmarian places his hand on the Bible and takes his oath, it includes a special call to prayer. That’s not typical; most religious profess vows or oaths to […]

SOLEMN PROMISES TO SERVE

GLENMARY AT 85

Times and people have changed, Father Dan Dorsey says, but Glenmary’s mission remains the same: to cross cultures and bring good news.  What will Glenmary look like at 100? On its 85th anniversary this year, Glenmary President Father Dan Dorsey would rephrase that question: “What will the Catholic Church in rural America look like? And […]

REMEMBERING A DIFFICULT PAST

The movement for civil rights was forged in the last century, but continues today. A Glenmary group got on a bus and found out how.  This past May, a group of 30 Glenmarians and coworkers met in Birmingham, Alabama, and climbed aboard a pilgrimage bus. But this would not be a typical Catholic pilgrimage. This […]
