Audio Talk: Saints & Mary TADA MINISTRIES - May 23, 2013 Here's a recording of the Saints & Mary talk I gave to our 2013 Fast Track RCIA class. We go over why we bother with saints, what the difference is between a canonized saint and everybody else, what's so special about Mary, and lots of other stuff. Please forgive the last 15 minutes not having the best recording quality. We're still testing how to record these talks and this was a "learning experience". Enjoy and, as always, I appreciate any feedback ...http://www.tadaministries.com/2013/05/audio-talk-saints-mary.html
