Itinerant Dominican
Itinerant Dominican: From
Michigan to New York to New Mexico!
Greetings
from sunny New Mexico! I feel have been
so out of touch – and that’s because I haven’t sent an e-newsletter since May 14th!
However, you have been in my thoughts
and daily prayers even when I have not been in touch! 😊
I had
hoped to send pictures from New York last week, but my laptop was not connecting,
so I left it in Michigan. In between
trips I picked up my now-functioning laptop, so I will post pictures of the National College Preaching in Action Conference
which took place at Molloy University in
Rockville Centre, New York.
A Brief History:
What is the Preaching
in Action Conference?
The
National “Preaching in Action” Conference is a venue where college age students
explore
Dominican spirituality and
preaching. The conference familiarizes
the college students to the foundations and characteristics of the four pillars
of the Dominican charism: Prayer, Study, Service, and Community, by modeling
and actively engaging them in creative ways of preaching in their daily lives. “It’s about gathering together to discover how
each of us is called to preach the Gospel message in our own unique way.”
Speakers representing congregations and provinces of the Dominican Order facilitate various experiences for preaching which makes the Word of God come alive through prayer, Liturgy, art, dance, drama and music.
Who
can attend the Preaching in Action Conference?
Students from Dominican Colleges, or colleges which have a Dominican presence, throughout the United States are eligible to attend the Preaching in Action Conference. The Conference was begun originally when the connection between the Dominican tradition of preaching and the desire of many students to answer their own call to preach was recognized. Four sophomore or junior students and an adult mentor from each college or university are accepted for this college preaching conference. It is conducted annually at different Dominican college sites. (Source: http://dymusa.org/collegepreachingconf/)

Throughout the week the mentors and college students were fully engaged in the four pillars of Dominican spirituality: Community, Service (Ministry), Prayer and Study. We also had a selection of sites for our day of service. The last night we were there we had a talent show. The pictures below are just a few of many I took in New York last week.
(* DON’T Miss this: On Saturday night our Aquinas College students performed a piece from the Broadway musical, "Annie". You can view the video by clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/2qL9XTd )
