Mission to Georgia

Readers of 52 Masses may remember my visit to St. John Paul II Mission Church in Rutledge, Tennessee, where the St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic made a stop. SJP II is a mission church of the Glenmary Home Missioners, a wonderful group that brings the faith to areas of the U.S. where it hasn’t been before.

When Kem and I relocated to the Cincinnati area, we happened to become near-neighbors with the Glenmarians, which I’ve taken full advantage of. I’ve been there numerous times for Mass over the past year. I really admire their mission.

During the course of getting to know some of the staff, I was asked if I would be interested in writing for the Glenmary Challenge magazine. I happened to be traveling to Atlanta for work, so I did a one-day detour to Blakely, Georgia, to write about Franciscan Sisters Imelda Ngwitu and Ancilla Abonyo, who have come from their native Kenya to assist the Glenmarians in their mission in Georgia.

If you would like to read about the sisters and their work, you can follow find it on the Glenmary site at this address:
