Inspiring Men to Serve the Home Missions.
It's always interesting to hear the
vocational stories of
our missioners—how they came to know
Glenmary
and dedicate their lives to serving the home
missions. The stories of Fathers Les Schmidt and Ray
Orlett and prenovice John Paul Lawhead are
even more interesting because all three were
members of Glenmary mission communities and
were inspired by the Glenmarians who served
those
missions. If you haven't already done so, please
consider making a gift to Glenmary to
help
ensure that other Glenmarians will have the
opportunity to lead by example and inspire other
young men to dedicate their lives to serving
the home
missions.
—Father Dominic Duggins, Development
Director

International Vocations Not only are men in this country attracted to working with Glenmary, establishing a Catholic presence in counties where none have ever been before, but so are men in Africa and Mexico. Father Steve Pawelk, Glenmary's vocation director, recently returned from a trip to Mexico where he met with young men interested in pursuing a missionary vocation with Glenmary.
