One year later, Norman started McNicholas' 35 year relationship with the Glenmary Home Missions by beginning an annual service trip to Eastern Kentucky and now Joppa, Tennessee. He also re-established a focus on student service, now community service, to the broader community with an emphasis on the most vulnerable members of our society. To continue reading click here.
