Currently I am in Epworth, Iowa visiting with Glenmary's students at Divine Word College. At DWC, Glenmary's aspirants finish their philosophy degree as they prepare to enter our formation program in St. Meinrad, Indiana. The Aspirancy Program aims to help men further
clarify their call to mission, especially with Glenmary. It aims to recognize that aspirants are at various levels of
maturity and discernment about their missionary vocation to Glenmary priesthood
or brotherhood. What unites the
aspirants to Glenmary is their desire to be a missionary and that currently
some skill is needed in order to pursue that call before entering formal formation.
“Specialized training will be as
necessary for this work as it is for the foreign missions... We plan to go into
our home mission fields not one bit less equipped than our foreign mission
societies go into the foreign mission field...” Rev. William Howard Bishop
