The National College “Preaching in Action” Conference is a collaborative response to our desire as Dominicans (a.k.a. the Order of Preachers) to introduce college aged students like yourself to the foundations and characteristics of Dominican Spirituality!

You’ll form a vibrant, prayerful and justice minded community of young adults from around the country who are ignited to become Preachers using the “pulpit of their lives.”
By hearing the Word of God
you will learn how it is vital to the life of all Dominicans and come to know ways you can make that Word come alive in your daily life and the lives of those you meet.

Preaching in Action Plans
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!
