Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

Each of the Gospels gives one or more accounts of Jesus feeding the crowds by multiplying the loaves and the fish. Often our focus is simply on the miracle, and we miss the fact that Jesus is feeding the crowds in more than one way.
