      What is Podcasting?
      Podcasting is a free service that allows you to download audio (or video) programs via the Internet and then listen to (or view) them at your convenience. Podcasting gives you the freedom to decide when you want to listen to (or view) the content. Unlike Broadcasting, which requires you to tune in at a specific time.

      Our Podcast
      Our parish podcast is a collection of audio content. It currently contains several items of audio content: Morning and Evening sessions of our 2006 Mini-Retreat, all four sessions of our 2007 Lenten Retreat, and Close Encounters of the Spirit Kind (Part 1 & Part 2). Our podcast is like a radio program consisting of different episodes. Each item of audio content is an episode. You can listen to individual episodes of the podcast. You can also subsribe to our podcast so you will automatically receive the latest episodes whenever any new content is added. This is similar to the way that TiVo records the latest episode of your favorite TV program automatically for you.
