In the summer 2011, Monsignor Ken Schaffer approached Eddie Taft to propose a solution to the weekly dilemma of accommodating the growing parish of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic church. Attendance had swelled to a point that temporary seating in the new gathering space addition was necessary. Father Ken needed a new technological medium to better connect to the parishioners who could not be seated in the Nave area.
