THANK YOU.
Our home mission ministries continue because supporters like you believe in the vision and value of Catholic mission. We thank God for you daily. Our work would be impossible without you!
Today, and every day, we rejoice and say prayers of thanks for you and your faith-filled commitment to the home missions. You make it possible for Glenmary missioners to be THE Catholic presence for the people in their county, sharing the goodness of God and making a difference in their lives.
You join in our mission. Thanks to your support, Glenmary is bringing people together into new Catholic faith communities; sharing God’s love with people who have no faith home; helping people with food, shelter, medicine, and daily necessities in their times of need; seeking justice for people suffering on the margins; and working toward unity among our Christian brothers and sisters.
You are the source of many blessings. You provide hope!
In the last year, you have helped Tennessee Catholics in Grainger and Smith Counties come together in community and worship in permanent Church homes. You have helped families worried about where their next meal will come from or
eviction from their home receive fresh food or transitional shelter. You have helped incarcerated youth in Georgia hear the Good News of Jesus Christ for the first time.
These are just some examples of the impact you make with your prayers and generosity. You’ll find more within the pages of this Impact and Stewardship Report. We are grateful to have you as valued members of our mission community.
Thank you for living your faith by supporting Glenmary’s ministry in Appalachia and the rural South. Thank you for giving us reason to rejoice every day!
Our work is to go
into the forgotten and neglected places, the no-priest land, the no-Catholic land of America...to build up little outposts and parishes where now no hope of them exists.”
—Father
William Howard Bishop, Glenmary FounderOUR FOUNDER’S VISION
“The true missioner adopts all the people in his area, regardless of creed, for his own. His aim is to make all of them better people and bring them nearer to God. “
—Father William Howard Bishop, Glenmary Founder
Glenmary Home Missioners was founded in 1939 by Father William Howard Bishop, whose vision was for every county in the United States to have a permanent Catholic presence. Thank you for being a part of our charismatic family and sharing our passion for mission!
Did you know there are still more than 300 counties that do not have a permanent Catholic church?
When you respond to this call by supporting our missions, you become a missioner just as much as we are.
Scan this code for more about our home mission ministries from the missioners themselves!
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.“ —Matthew 25:40
At Glenmary, our vision is to bring a greater fullness of the Kingdom of God to the areas we serve. Our love for Christ and our passion for the Catholic faith is at the center of every ministry and outreach.
YOUR GIFTS IN ACTION
You don’t have to travel far to find a mission field. With God’s grace and your generosity, we’ve shared God’s love and the hope of our Catholic faith with thousands of Americans this year!
NEW MISSIONS AND MORE CHURCHES
In the past 4 years, we have dedicated four churches and established four new missions in rural America, thanks be to God!
Over 250 young adults served as Glenmary volunteers in rural Tennessee this year, learning what faith in action looks like.
SHOWING GOD’S LOVE IN PRACTICAL WAYS YOUR
8,665 people made 22,569 gifts to Glenmary the past fiscal year. We thank God every day for your generosity and support.
ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE LIVE IN POVERTY
On average, 18% of the people in our missions live in poverty. Your gifts help meet the basic needs of many who are struggling.
PILLARS OF MISSION
“For Glenmary, a pillar is something firm on which we can stand while we’re doing our missionary activity.“
—Father William Howard Bishop, Glenmary FounderGlenmary is committed to establishing a permanent presence for the Catholic Church, but that’s more than a church building. We’re on mission to establish the fullness of the Catholic faith, which calls us to serve, work alongside and love all of God’s children.
Nurturing Catholics
“I’m
—Father
Ecumenical Cooperation
“Ecumenism really means Christian unity. How do we respond to Christ’s call that all Christians would be one?”
—Nathan Smith, Glenmary Coworker
Social Justice/Transformation
“Social injustices in the missions are a lot of time problems with housing and public services. Many people who are poor don’t have access to the programs that will help them out of poverty.”
—Father Vic Subb
Evangelization
“We come to towns where there are people who have no faith at all...we introduce the Good News to those people who have never heard about Jesus Christ.”
—Father
Connection
to the Universal Church
“It’s helping Catholics [in the missions] see they are part of a greater Church. And it’s helping the universal Church know more about mission needs in rural America.”
—Father Aaron Wessman
