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

Welcome to the podcast.

Catholic Stuff You Should Know, J10 Initiative.

This is Father Maiden.

Father Nathan.

And Father John here in a very echoey, we, uh, are in my parish house, St. Joseph's

right, new location.

We move to, um, like a, uh, a higher ceiling, more open room, a little bit of echo, so you

get some reverb and that sounds cool.

Well we're back, um, with another serious announcement, another serious podcast.

We wanted to, um, communicate with everyone.

Thank you for your patience.

We, um, announced in October that we are going to take a break and we've assessed that, talked

to our board, talked to each other.

And, um, know that that was, I think we announced that there was, we were going to say something

in January and it's now end of February.

So thank you for your patience.

We appreciate all of the prayers and all of the thoughts received a lot of feedback and,

uh, letters, emails, people, um, personally asking and, um, wishing the best.

There was a little bit of ambiguity, um, just about, we kind of left it as, you know, things

are tense and we need to take a break.

Um, so just want to clarify that our priesthoods are fine.
