Glenmary Home Missioners was founded by Fr. William Howard Bishop in 1939. Glenmary's name comes from combining the name of the place where the Society was founded, Glendale, Ohio with the name of Mary, the society's patroness under her title "Our Lady of the Fields." Father Bishop also founded the Home Mission Sisters of America (Glenmary Sisters) in 1941.
