A unique opportunity to experience
missionary service in Appalachia

For over 30 years, the Glenmary Farm and Glenmary Home Missioners have been an integral part of life in Lewis County, one of the poorest counties in Kentucky. The work of Farm volunteers has had a tremendous impact on this area and has earned the respect and support of the local community where, until recent years, anti-Catholic sentiment still ran high.

The Glenmary Farm volunteer program is designed for groups of Catholics 15 and older. All volunteers must be at least high school juniors. Besides groups from high schools and colleges, we also accept parish youth and young-adult groups. Responsible adult chaperones or advisors must accompany each group.
