| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome everybody. This is Father Mark Mary with the Franciscan Friars of Renewal |
| 0:18.4 | and you are listening to the Polk O'Poco podcast, new podcast, the Franciscan Friars. |
| 0:25.0 | So no one typically will be joined by Father Innocent and Father Angel Smot Gumri, CFR. |
| 0:31.0 | But as I've mentioned in previous episodes, we are quarantined in different quarters. |
| 0:37.4 | I'm here in South Bronx. They're over in Harlem. And so we can't get together to record |
| 0:45.8 | these episodes. And we moved up again, the release dates, the publishing dates of these |
