Preaching Resources
Preaching is at the heart of the Dominican mission.
These resources are designed to inspire, support, and equip all those who are called to proclaim the Word—whether from the pulpit, in classrooms, through art, or in everyday encounters. Grounded in Dominican tradition, these materials offer theological insight, practical tools, and reflections to help deepen the ministry of preaching in today’s world.

Print Resources for Dominican Life and Mission
In the spirit of Dominican study, the Sinsinawa Dominicans’ Relationships for Mission (RFM) Team has created a collection of print resources to support Sisters, Associates, partners in ministry, and all who seek to deepen their understanding of the Dominican mission.
These materials include recommended books, downloadable brochures on Dominican spirituality and charism, and additional content from the RFM Office. Originally developed in celebration of the Order’s 800th anniversary in 2016, the project was led by Sister Barbara Dannhausen, OP, with content by Sister Ruth Poochigian, OP.
We invite you to engage in the Dominican practice of study and reflection—and to share what you learn with your community and beyond.
