You are the key! "BAM-ers," as we
affectionately refer to members of Glenmary's
Boost-A-Month Club, are key to keeping the
doors open in the
home missions—church doors, food pantry
doors,
doors to ecumenical cooperation, car doors
and the
doors at the Glenmary Farm. Please
read more about this wonderful way to
support
Glenmary—and then join
today! Or, if you are already a BAM
member, invite
a friend. I hope you will also visit our How
to Help page to learn about all the ways
to partner
with Glenmary.
—Father Dominic Duggins,
Development
Director

Vocation Update
Nine students have been accepted into Glenmary's formation program, which begins in August. The men come from a wide range of backgrounds but have one thing in common: a desire to serve the home missions as a missionary priest or brother.

A View Inside a Poultry Plant
Brother David Henley, serving the Catholic mission community in Danville, Ark., spent time last year working and ministering at a local poultry plant. Since then, the plant, which employed a large number of those who attend the Danville mission, has closed. Before the plant's final day, Brother David and several employees shot video and still photos of life inside the plant. Brother David turned the images into a video which he posted to YouTube.
