Discernment: Is There an App for That? 
 Apps may make people's lives simpler and some may even help individuals find good matches for dating.

Glenmary Visits The Fest in Cleveland   
Pat McEntee, Associate Vocation Director
I recently met with hundreds of visitors in the vocation tent at the Fest event in Cleveland, Ohio. Topics of conversation included what Glenmary does, the Glenmary Farm, discernment, and possible vocations for family members or themselves. As a result of these conversations, those who expressed interest might have discovered a call to serve in the U.S. home missions. 


My Novitiate Experience with Glenmary  
By Patrick Muriithi, seminarian
Glenmary's newest member, Patrick Muriithi, took his First Oath in June after completing his one-year novitiate program. His reflections on experiences as a novice provide insights into how the process helped him learn more about Glenmary, himself and his vocation, with the assistance and guidance of his formation directors and other Glenmarians.
