Greetings, Saint Charles Family:
During tonight's Adult Bible Study session, we will begin studying the Sermon on the Mount, which is the most important preaching of Jesus Christ in the bible. I look forward to seeing you there. You can download the HANDOUT now, and Join our Zoom meeting at 7:00 PM.
Meanwhile, I will be delivering this year's State of the Parish Address in the form of a video, which will be included in a special Flocknote this coming Sunday afternoon.
Blessings,
Fr. Kwame
Weekday Mass Videos
Internet Issues
Internet Issues
Viewers who watch our Tuesday - Friday Mass videos (while they are "live" at 9:00 am) have noticed, on occasion, that the image quality can be degraded and the video frequently starts and stops.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.) Watch the Mass video later in the day. YouTube re-processes live videos after they are complete. Within two hours, they can be viewed continuously and more clearly with higher resolution.
2.) If you still desire to watch the videos while they are "live", you can move the video playhead back in time, by a few minutes. The image quality may still be sub-par, but you should be able to watch the video continuously - unless you catch up to a point where YouTube's data buffer is depleted.
WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM?
Our internet "upload" bandwidth is adversely affected by nearby students and business persons who are using Zoom. Comcast's infrastructure in our neighborhood was not built to handle so many persons transmitting video of themselves at the same time. The severity of this issue should be reduced next month when students return to their classrooms in-person.
