Have you ever wondered how it was that Jesus spoke to large crowds without the use of a microphone or mega-phone.? Crowds as large as 25,000 people (5000 men not counting women and children -Mt 14:21) are described in the New Testament. Yes it was possible to accomplish such feats with use of the land and its nature contours. On the Sea of Galilee there are two points where the land forms a natural Amphitheater. Itinerant preachers knew of these spots and often gathered crowds to preach to. Jesus would have stood at the Sea of Galilee and along the hillside people would have sat to hear the wisdom of this man who was both human and divine.

Our Church of St. Mary of the Assumption doesn't quite hold 25,000 people even with our recent renovation, but through the use of the World Wide Web, we have reached over 100,000 people. This venue of the internet allows us to bring the Good News of Jesus to many people who may not be able to join us on a weekly basis for various reasons.

We are very proud of this web site and we hope you like what you see and hear. May the Good News of Jesus fill your hearts and homes.

God Bless,

Fr. Steve
