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

Hey, welcome to the podcast, Father John here at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Denver.

Very excited to introduce a new host tonight.

You have not heard the squeaky voice of Father Mike Grap chiming in, which usually happens

almost immediately upon me speaking.

I'd like to introduce Mr. Jacob Machado.

Hey, thanks for having me, Father John.

I'm excited.

Somewhat excited to be here.

Somewhat excited to be here.

I got to say, I was really excited about two days ago, but this morning I tried on Father

Nathan Goble's shoes.

I knew they were going to be big, but they were about up to my eyeballs.

Yeah, they're clown shoes, that's really what they are.

So Jacob Machado is a brother companion, and he is in second theology, right?

Yes.

So, a year out from Deaconate.

Yeah, I think February 18th next year is the date I heard.

I haven't heard any call to orders yet, but that's the date we have.

Which is crazy, because when we started the podcast, I was where you're out from Deaconate

and Father Mike was a deacon, so it's just kind of crazy.

I was a sophomore in college.
