The Organization of Directors of Continuing Education for Clergy (Ecclesial Provinces Los Angeles and San Francisco Archdioceses) offers a weekly program for priests and deacons. Deacon Peter Lovrick, our Associate Professor of Homiletics and Director of the Diaconate Formation Program, will be presenting on a regular schedule. His next presentation will be held February 15, 2022.
In his recent apostolic exhortation, Pope Francis dedicates time to discuss the issue on homiletics.
"The homily has special importance due to its eucharistic context: it surpasses all forms of catechesis as the supreme moment in the dialogue between God and his people which lead up to sacramental communion." - Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 137
