This thesis, “Preaching about Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in the Vietnamese American Catholic Community,” unveils the transformative potential of preaching to disrupt the hidden chaos of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). It addresses the persistent reluctance of Vietnamese Church leaders to confront this issue, a reluctance often rooted in cultural, systemic, and theological barriers. Drawing upon interdisciplinary research in sociology, psychology, and trauma studies, alongside a re-examination of Catholic theological foundations on human dignity and marital equality, this work proposes and evaluates a Prophetic Pastoral Narrative Preaching Model. Through a structured training seminar for clergy and lay leaders, this thesis demonstrates how culturally sensitive and theologically informed homiletic innovation can empower the Church to dismantle IPV, foster hope and healing for survivors, and cultivate a community where silence no longer reigns.
