days for us as priests.

It's not quite the level of Holy Week, but it can be pretty demanding.

How are you doing?

How are things going down there?

It's a different flavor, man.

I mean, it really is a different flavor.

There's a certain type of intensity

it takes place with Holy Week because every single day of Holy Week is like a different very intricate liturgy that you only do once a year.

Where Christmas is it's just like it seems to be kind of like a steeper mountain that there's more to do because there's just you know so such more high traffic through the church during that time and then you add in the kind of curveball of winter weather.

So you're like, oh, not only are we going to have to deal with all of the, you know, high increase of foot traffic and visitors and families but now we have to worry about whether or not we're going to have a blizzard.

So yeah, it's it's it's chaotic. It's good Jesus is Lord and yeah we just keep on keep on keeping now

one of the things that we do here in the house of studies is that we get sent out to hear

confessions all over the area.
