People often ask about the style of our parish ministry and about the homilies. Why are they like they are?. How do we decide what to focus on? Why the length? One Sunday in 2006 at the 9:15 mass, I decided to answer those questions. This talk explains the general style of ministry at St. Cyril's, and specifically how we approach our responsibility to preach the Gospel to the people entrusted to us. If any of you ever have any follow up questions, please, do not hesitate to speak to me.
