The church is becoming a part of the American and international mainstream.

In the 12th century (about 1197), the church had apparently become too small and an extension was added on the north end.

The church became so still that the dripping of wax could be heard.

At this time many local churches were becoming involved in mission directly.

Over the last 20 years, many churches have become redundant.

The church, meanwhile, was becoming too small for its growing congregations, especially in the summer.

Black Catholics say the church has become more open to their needs, especially of self-expression.

After about one hundred years, this church, too, had become too small.

By 1935 the old church had become so unsafe it was demolished.

By the middle of the 19th century this church had become dilapidated, and it was too small for its congregation.
