Summer camp. Just the mention of that
phrase stirs memories for many of us who
remember experiencing the week away from home,
sleeping in rustic conditions and learning new
skills and making new friends.
Camp Glenmary
offers the opportunity for disadvantaged
children in Mississippi—both Catholic
and non-Catholic—to make
memories they will hold for the rest of their
lives. The camp experience is just one
way Glenmary missioners reach out to entire
counties and regions in the South to help
meet the spiritual and material needs of those
living in these areas.
Outreach
that is made possible by your support. I
wish you and your family a healthy, enjoyable
and relaxing summer. May it be a time that
you, too, make memories you will hold for a
lifetime.
—Father Dominic Duggins,
Development
Director
