2020 Dominican High Schools Preaching Conference

22nd Annual National Dominican High Schools Preaching Conference

The 22nd Annual Preaching in Action Conference will be held from June 26-July 1.

The conference empowers students to discover and deepen the preacher within through prayer, study, community, and the Dominican Family.

Each June students are immersed in the Dominican tradition of preaching. Through presentation, dynamic workshops, peer-to-peer sharing, etc. they learn that they too are preachers in their own unique ways.

At the end of the conference, students are challenged with the creation of an action plan for the upcoming school year. This plan is the vehicle for sharing what they have learned at the conference to their college campuses. With the Dominican Charism firmly planted in mind, body, and spirit – the “Holy Preaching” continues!
