Preacher theWord a daily dose of dominican preaching

Miss Laura Dejmek, O.P.

Laura is a single, Lay Dominican living in Chicago Illinois. Her life experiences include teaching elementary school music to children ages six through twelve. In addition, she had served the Church as a Music Director and liturgist for twenty years at various parishes in the Chicago area. She still keeps connected with her music ministry by cantoring. Recently, Laura has felt called to pursue her charism of preaching in a more traditional fashion. She is a guest preacher at an Episcopal parish in a suburb of Chicago. She has also accepted the ministry of Co-Promoter of Preaching for Lay Dominicans in the Central Province of the United States. In addition to having a Master’s of Music, and being a classically-trained soprano, Laura was recently awarded a Master of Divinity degree from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Illinois with a double concentration in Biblical Studies and Liturgy. She is the first Master of Divinity student at Catholic Theological Union to complete this degree with a double concentration.
