Join St. Benedict Tours with Fr. Glenn Sudano, CFR, Spiritual Director

Since 1987, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal have lived in some of the poorest communities in the United States, Europe, and Central America while evangelizing and ministering to those in need. In the beginning, eight Capuchin friars founded a community in New York’s “almost abandoned and drug-infested” South Bronx. Among its founders were men who would become prominent figures in Catholic media, including Father Benedict Groeschel, Father Andrew Apostoli, Father Glenn Sudano, and Father Stan Fortuna.

During our pilgrimage/retreat to Medjugorje, our pilgrims will have the unique privilege of having Fr. Glenn Sudano, CFR, a holy and gifted retreat director, to journey with us.

As our spiritual guide and director, Fr. Glenn will be offering daily private conferences to our pilgrims in a comfortable, modern Hotel Jana, located 200 meters from St. James church. Also, while benefitting from the spiritual conferences offered by Fr. Glenn, our pilgrims will be able to participate and experience all of the spiritual activities that Medjugorje has to offer.

Guided by the Holy Spirit, Fr. Glenn offers spiritual conferences that reflect his profound love for Our Lord. His love for Our Lord and the teaching of our Catholic faith is revealed in his joyful delivery of spiritual thoughts that one is able to hold onto long after the conferences are over. A kind and charitable spiritual director, Fr. Glenn will be available for our pilgrims for the sacrament of Reconciliation.

Fr. Glenn always seems to have time for anyone who approaches him, which is truly an indication of his love for Our Lord Jesus.

Fr. Glenn is one of the eight Founding Members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal which has been granted Pontifical Recognition on June 13, 2016. During the formative years of the Community, Fr. Glenn served as vocation director, novice master, and as community servant (Superior). He continues to serve the community and others through spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, spiritual deliverance ministry, preaching at parish missions and other forms of evangelizing.

Fr. Glen has led retreats for private organizations and parishes throughout the United States and in Europe. He has appeared on EWTN, Relevant Radio, MaryTV of Medjugorje, and at Marian Conferences.
