LAY DOMINICANS Central Province USA

Hello, fellow members of the Order of Preachers.  Yes, indeed, we are all 'PREACHERS'.  Of course, how we do this differs from member to member.  However, since 2007 we have been encouraging each Chapter to include a preaching of the Word at each meeting.  This is your personal reflection on the readings presented in 3-5 minutes. 

In order to facilitate this we have included a Formation Unit entitled 'Preaching' on the PROVINCIAL FORMATION page under the ONGOING FORMATION section.  The unit answers the questions: Why is this encouraged;  How is this to be done effectively?  A template for a 'Preaching' and an example are provided.  Each Chapter should study this because it will provide the preacher with an easy and effective path to worthwhile preaching.  Try it, you'll like it!  See the unit 'Preaching' and view the video, LAY DOMINICAN PREACHING, on the 'VIDEOS' page.

Also, you are encouraged to visit the page 'Forming Preachers' for discussions on preaching (especially by Laura Dejmek OP, our Promoter of Preaching).  Very worthwhile!
