I'm going to introduce our speaker this morning.

So it's a great way that I welcome Father Mark Manning.

Father Mark is the priest of the prelature of Obisday and the chaplain of the Rooz

and the Chalachlanes and the Town Educational Foundation in Chicago.

He preaches recollections and gives spiritual direction in Montreal.

Welcome to everyone.

St. Jose Maria Institute, Father Jim Socillas, who will make a cameo appearance later.

And Elia, B.

Barb, Babaka, who has done so much to organize this.

And thank you for Mitch Rains, who was helping us with the audio and the video.

I want to have a little bit of fun today. I don't want it to be just sort of informational download and that's it.

So the way I've sort of organized this is I want to give a 45 minute talk three times,

one on his bio, one on the joy of the gospel, and the third on the Senate,

post and creed, if you will, to talk about different issues and then have 15 minutes of time

for questions, answers, hopefully there will be some answers.

And if I can't answer, maybe one of you can.

It's always dynamic to speak to a crowd because you have such a wealth of experience,

knowledge, and wisdom. So I draw on that too.

This is for me as well.

So I sort of enjoy that.

So we want to make that, you know, a nice day.

And obviously we've got a nice setup here at the R, as they call it,
