Welcome to Catholic Stuff You Should Know, a J10 initiative.

Welcome to the podcast Father John. I'm Father Mike and we are back not an interesting

introduction like him

like him to do it.

Oh no I forgot I did that.

We are back in the room here and I hate to I hate to announce this but

heading towards another depressing topic.

Not that yours was depressing.

The T.S. Elliot, so we're in kind of dark, kind of post-World War I British authors. But we will pause with some positive announcements here before that.

So this podcast comes out on the 16th of May, which is kind of every year is the anniversary time for all of our companion brothers.

So this will be 14 years for you?

14 years on the 15th.

14 years on the 15th, you and Father Matt, and then...

14 years. That's 14 years that's crazy that's crazy to think about

course I'm you know I go to the chrism mass and the jubilarians have like 60 years

I know that puts that in perspective I'm oh boy, got a lot to go.

I went and gave a talk to Father CJ's crew. He's got a group of girls at Matchbrough who are discerning

religious life and he wanted me to come talk to him and classic CJ he's text me that he's like oh I won't be there sorry and I was like what so I went over there and they were great but I was like, I'm old.

Yeah. And now I'm not supposed to talk about being old because you haven't been on these

podcasts, but I have to just acknowledge and just like, wow, we're up there.

And there's something beautiful about it. It's like there is a kind of wisdom that comes with life and you see that in those priests who are 50 60 years and 14 years, 13 years, Father Nathan Goldbl celebrating 10 years this year.

Is that the 16th?
