Rosary Alumnae Association in Aurora, IL

Please keep our Dominican Preachers in your prayers as they head to the annual preaching conference in Adrian, Michigan. Were YOU a Dominican Preacher at Rosary? Tell us in the comments.

Our Dominican Preachers, joined by Sr. Mary Jo, O.P., a Dominican Sister of Springfield and chaperone, are on their way to Adrian, Michigan, for the annual Dominican High Schools Preaching Conference.

Over the next several days, they will gather with students from Dominican schools across the country to deepen their faith, grow as leaders, and continue discovering how God calls each of them to preach through their words and actions.

Please keep them in your prayers for safe travels, a meaningful conference experience, and a joyful time in community. 💙
