A Message from Father Dominic

Spreading the Word

Many Sundays throughout the summer I visit parishes to give mission awareness presentations at which time there is a special collection for the missions. The parishes I visit may be small or large, but they are all located in areas where the Catholic Church is a well-established presence. Many of those who hear my message are surprised to learn that there are areas in our own country where there are few Catholics and where Sunday Mass may be held in a house or rented storefront. 

The response to my message is usually very positive. I’m uplifted and encouraged that there are many Catholics who are willing to support Glenmary’s ministry with both their prayers and their financial gifts.

By spreading the word about Glenmary’s ministry, we hope to obtain the necessary means to continue spreading the Word in the home missions—the Gospel message of Jesus’ redeeming love.  

We ask for your continued prayerful support and be assured that you are remembered in our Masses and prayers. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Father Dominic R. Duggins
First Vice President
Director of Development
