Here you will find "FIRST IMPRESSIONS"?a series of initial reflections, aimed at preachers, on the readings and liturgy for the following Sunday. This content is always published at least one week in advance, according to the liturgical calendar. It is a tool designed to help preachers prepare for their upcoming ministry from the ambo. The material is available in both English and Spanish and is the work of Fr. Jude Siciliano, OP, a member of the Dominican Province of the Southern United States, who resides in a community of Dominican preachers in Houston, Texas.

The pages on this site are updated daily, with a more comprehensive
weekly update posted on Sundays at 9:00 pm. (Eastern Time, USA).
