The Glenmary Home Mission Sisters extend compassionate outreach to the poor and forgotten of the land.

MOUNTAIN CHRISTIAN THRIFT SHOP - Sr. Kathleen receives calls from agencies asking that she check on an individual or family. Everyone knows her warm and outgoing manner. The Thrift Shop, in the heart of Frenchburg, KY., provides clothing and household items for those in need and a place for people to share their problems.

The Glenmary Sisters do not own or operate institutions but they do join forces with others to assess the needs of a community, address the needs, if possible, and to encourage the local people to take ownership of the project or organization. A Glenmary Sister may not be able to stay in a mission to see a project to its completion, but she leaves behind the tools necessary to bring it to fruition with God’s help.
