Glenmary Needs Missioners Like Mars Needs Moms

More than 70 years after its founding, Glenmary needs more missioners to meet the still-overwhelming needs in our country. In the American South, for instance, more than 300 counties still have no Catholic presence. You may feel unworthy or inadequate to meet this type of call, but if God is actually calling you, you can accomplish great things with his help.

The symbolic gesture of foot-washing takes place on Holy Thursday at parishes all over the world. It reminds us that, as disciples, we are called to humble ourselves. In many ways, Glenmary's ministry among the spiritually and materially poor in rural areas of our country mirrors this practice.
