Sample Homilies on Domestic Violence
The following homilies were prepared by third and fourth year seminarians at
the Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The reality of domestic violence and the importance of addressing it effectively and appropriately from the pulpit are integral parts of the homiletics curriculum at St. Paul Seminary. Each student is required to prepare a domestic violence homily as part of his advanced
homiletics training.
These homilies have been approved for posting by the Chairman of the Bishops' Committee on Women in Society and in the Church.
