Questions or Comments

What is Glenmary?

Glenmary is a Catholic society of priests, Brothers and lay workers who serve
primarily in Appalachia and the deep South. Glenmary was founded in 1939 by Father William Howard Bishop, who had a dream that the Catholic Church would be present everywhere in the United States.

Glenmary has served mission churches in 14 states with the goal to return developed parishes to the care of the local diocese. We can then move on to new mission territory.

Glenmary is proud that more than 120 parishes are former Glenmary missions. Our missions are in counties where less than 1% of the population is Catholic, as high as 75% claim no faith affiliation at all. Poverty averages 20%, almost two times the national average.

Testimonials for Catholic Vocation

“Glenmary’s thoroughly missionary vision excited me. I admired the Glenmary priests and Brothers I met and thought that, if it would one day come to pass, I would be proud to be one of their own.” — Father Aaron Wessman

“I wanted to be doing more things than being a minister. I wanted to be out there doing stuff with the people. I just liked what the Brothers were doing.” — Brother Josiah Kimani

“Everyday I realize how blessed and privileged I am to be a Glenmary Home Missioner. I get to enter sacred spaces with my encounters and interactions with the people of God.” — Brother Jason Muhlenkamp
