This video is the second part in a three part video series of questions and answers with a Glenmary vocation panel from our live stream on Facebook.   The week two theme was about responding to our call.

Vocation Panel #1 of 3

I am going to share the link to the first of a three part video series of questions and answers with a Glenmary vocation panel from our live stream on Facebook.  Week one the theme was all about discernment. 

Ordination Novena

Novena for the Ordination to the Priesthood for José Carlos, Samuel and Kenn: 

Please join in praying this novena prayer, beginning today, March 11th, and ending on March 19th: Prayer for Novena (Adapted from the Rite for the Ordination of Priests): 

"Lord our God, who in governing your people make use of the ministry of Priests, grant a persevering obedience to your will to these Deacons of your Church, José Carlos, Samuel, and Kenn, whom you graciously choose for the office of the priesthood, so that by their ministry and life they may gain glory for you in Christ. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."

Brother Jack on How he Chose Glenmary

Glenmary Brother Jack Henn describes how he chose Glenmary Home Missioners in his vocation discernment process.

Glenmary Missioners will be @ #SEEK21

I am excited to represent Glenmary and be a part of #SEEK21 - Participants can visit our virtual booth online to #MeetAMissioner. Priests, brothers, sisters, lay volunteers will be hanging out at our booth to meet you during our hours. Other times you can send us a message. #GoGlenmary

Opening of the New Missions

Glenmary Father Don Tranel received a blessing from Glenmary President, Fr. Dan, and I rang the Mission Bell this morning in order to send Fr. Don out to the new missions. There is no Catholic church there yet but Fr. Don will be the first ever resident priest in Smith County, Tennessee.

Zoom and See retreats

Glenmary would love to host in person Come and See retreats like we did last year but for the time being our vocation events are online. 

Our Zoom and See retreats have a few sessions each day and cover the frequently asked questions about religious life. Some of the themes from the latest Zoom and See retreat included: what is life like in the missions, how are the promises of poverty, chastity, obedience and prayer lived out and how long do studies take to become a priest or a brother.
