Below are audio streams of Bishop Sheridan's catechesis today, along with the Q&A and his brief Mass homily. The theme today was "Sent out into the world: the Holy Spirit, the principal agent of mission," with a key Scripture verse: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses." (Acts 1:8). Mass readings were 1 Cor 9: 16-19 and Mt 28: 16-20.

You may need to turn the volume up a tad.
