The Catholic Preaching Institute
Welcome!
We’re thrilled you found us. Improving the experience of homilies – from the pulpit and in the pew — is what drives us @ The Catholic Preaching Institute. But more than tweaking what’s already in place, we’re looking to launch a homiletic revival here in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and beyond.
Why? Because we need to up our game in terms of how, what, and where we preach … and how, what and where we hear the Word of God. As parishes have already done post-pandemic, now we want to help keep those church doors open with a renewed proclamation of the “Good News” for all.
This is a grassroots initiative, wholly dependent on the involvement of all members of the local Church as the Body of Christ and People of God. That’s why we’re so happy you found us … and why we invite you to see below for how you can help right now!
Feel free to visit this website often to see what’s happening. And if you have any great ideas or genuine interest or generous gifts that will help, feel free to contact us at any time.
Fr. Tom Dailey, OSFS

THE PARISHIONER SURVEY IS CLOSED
Thank you to all who participated in the 2024 archdiocesan survey on preaching. Your honest input from the pews is vital to understanding what is working and what can be improved in our parishes to give you a stronger connection to the Mass. We’re compiling the survey responses and will soon share the results here.
We wish everyone a Blessed Holy week and a joyous Easter!

“Fr. de Montfort’s zeal for the Word of God … his ability to make himself understood by the simplest folk and to stimulate their piety … can inspire the apostles of today … A Gospel wayfarer inflamed by the love of Jesus and of his holy Mother, he knew how to touch the hearts of the crowds, and how to make them love the Redeeming Christ, contemplated on the Cross. May he support the efforts of the evangelizers of our times!”
