As opportunities for professional gatherings of and about lay ecclesial ministers occur, and are available for audio distribution, we will make an effort to add to the list of podcast files available for download here. We gratefully acknowledge the permission of the speakers here to make their work available for public download.
Files here are mp3 files and can be downloaded for playback on a computer or most portable digital audio devices (e.g. iPod, etc.). To maintain reasonable file sizes for download, most speeches have been broken up into several smaller files. Audio quality may vary.
Some of these files are also available as written texts and can be downloaded by visiting our “Other Texts” page.
