The next Clergy Formation Day at The Gillis Centre will be given by Father Peter Cameron OP and is entitled Preaching as Generating.
The day will begin at 11:00am with coffee and we hope to finish by 3:30pm.
Of the day, Father Peter says, “The presentation will be super practical.
"It will focus on how recent Church documents encourage the preacher to conceive of preaching, and on the role of Sacred Scripture and structure in preaching.
"We will work on a lectionary Gospel text for an upcoming Sunday so that the participants can go home with the beginnings of a homily in their pocket”.
Peter John Cameron was ordained a Dominican priest in 1986 for Province of St Joseph. He holds an STL from the Dominican House of Studies (Washington, DC), and a Master of Fine Arts in playwriting from the Catholic University of America.
Since 1994, he has taught homiletics at four seminaries in the United States, and he is currently the Carl J. Peter Chair of Homiletics at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.
He served two terms as the Director of Preaching for his Dominican province. He is also the founding editor-in-chief of Magnificat (English edition), where he worked from 1998-2018.
Peter is the author of To Praise, To Bless, To Preach: Spiritual Reflections on the Sunday Gospels (three volumes), and Why Preach: Encountering Christ in God’s Word.
