A collaboration between the University of Dallas and The Catholic Foundation, the
Institute for Homiletics was founded in 2021 for one purpose — to renew preachers
to renew preaching in the Catholic Church. Effective homilies bring preachers and
hearers closer to Jesus. At the Institute for Homiletics, we put preaching and evangelization
together.
The University of Dallas will become the first college or university to host a convent
for the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, a teaching order of Catholic religious sisters
also known as the Nashville Dominicans. While the convent at UD would be the first
on a university or college campus, it is one of many ‘mission convents’ that the order
has established to serve 53 different schools in 31 dioceses both in the U.S. and
abroad.
