St. Augustine’s Seminary has been offering a series of annual conferences, seminars and workshops since 2014 all dedicated to answering a call from His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins, how to improve Catholic preaching.

We were delighted to present the webinar: The Joy and Challenge of Preaching by Fr. Joshua J. Whitfield, author of The Crisis of Bad Preaching (Ave Maria Press, 2019).
