So by the time you're listening to this podcast, and hopefully my Wi-Fi is better for this episode, I will be in Portugal for World Youth Day.

We are taking 26 pilgrims from our diocese.

That's so cool.

My parish is the largest represented, even more than the Portuguese parish.

This is what I love about it.

We out of Portuguese parish in our diocese with the other people going to World Youth Day in Portugal.

So we just got the other day our, so I don't know if I mentioned this, but like three weeks ago, we got an email.

We had a charter bus booked.

So we just booked everything ourselves.

It was just cheaper than getting tour companies which charge a lot sometimes yeah um but um the there was a uh

the email that saying uh that they were canceling our charter just just canceling it just

canceling it for quote unquote unforeseen circumstances even though we

already paid like six months ago it tells me that they probably got more money from someone else

maybe yeah that's my guess do they refund you uh apparently i'm hoping so the diocese

kind of takes care of that stuff for me so I'm on the phone or not the

I'm on the phone with the guy who's helping us on the background stuff with justics

Jamie who just had his first baby girl and he's not coming because of that obviously

but then he and then that was the other thing and he had just he had his kid like two weeks early

so um well his wife had the kid obviously but you know um they had the kid two weeks early. So his wife had the kid obviously.

But, you know, they had the kid two weeks early.

And then so he wasn't able to help out as much anymore.

I said, yeah, man, like seriously go, go look after your baby.
