14th Sunday After Pentecost
You'll hear a lot of reverberation in this sermon in an old Florida basilica (my new home) but you'll need to tweak your volume until I adjust the basilica microphones for future podcasts. In this sermon, you'll hear about the Gospel of the day applied to Hurricane Irma.
