On the Feast Day of St. Dominic, the UST Central Seminary Rector Rev. Fr. Quirico T. Pedregosa, Jr., O.P., launched his book titled 鈥淎 Preacher鈥檚 Calling: In Remembrance of Dominic.鈥� The book launch was conducted on August 8, 2020, through an online video on the official Facebook page of the Dominican Province of the Philippines.
In the video, Fr. Pedregosa shared that the book is divided into four parts, namely, 鈥淭he Missionary Impulse of Preaching,鈥� 鈥淎 Life of Preaching,鈥� 鈥淭he Preaching Life,鈥� and 鈥淎 Preaching Life in the Peripheries.鈥�
Noting that the book is released in anticipation of the 800th death anniversary of St. Dominic, Prior Provincial of the Dominican Province of the Philippines and UST Vice Chancellor Very Rev. Fr. Napoleon B. Sipalay, Jr., O.P., recommended the book in another video message.
Fr. Sipalay said that 鈥淚t鈥檚 very important for us to understand the integration of teaching and practice, and this book encourages us to apply that by integrating what we say into what we do to a Dominican life, a Christian life, with St. Dominic as an example.鈥�
The book can be ordered online through the OP Project Aral Facebook Page.
