A trip to Mexico by associate vocation director, Pat McEntee had only one major purpose, but many wonderful and diverse experiences came about during the four weeks spent there.

As we delve into this advent season, it's a good time to assess what we are waiting for. How do we wait? Patiently, impatiently? If we pay close enough attention, we can find God's hand working in and through us while we wait.

En las misiones de Glenmary hay una diversidad de gente aparte de los estados unidenses, hay inmigrantes de México, Guatemala, El Salvador, Filipino, y muchos otros países. En las misiones es necesario a hablar otro idioma y más es importante tener un corazón abierto para recibir personas de otras culturas.

Currently, seven men are in various stages of application to Glenmary. In the past, we have listed their names to share this good news. But this year, we have decided to simply ask for your prayers and will announce their names once the process of application is completed. This is the most men and the earliest that any have asked for application and begun the process. There is always room for more. The people in rural America await your generosity and witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you missed the Thanksgiving mission trip, you can still experience rural mission life on a trial basis. Glenmary will host "Journey to the Nativity" from Dec. 26-Jan. 2 in Claxton, Ga. his is a retreat/mission trip similar to the Thanksgiving trip. This event has a theme of the Epiphany where the three magi followed a guiding light to find Christ. For more information, or to register, contact Pat McEntee or call 513.881.7410.
