Praedicare Spring 2026 Issue

In this spring issue of Praedicare, we are delighted to highlight the myriad seeds of hope taking root at Catholic campus ministry centers led by Dominicans throughout the Midwest and in Puerto Rico.

We are members of the Order of Preachers, an 800-year-old religious order in the Roman Catholic Church. We preach throughout the central region of the United States, from the Dakotas to Michigan, down to Colorado and New Mexico.
