00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.360
<v SPEAKER_01>So that's the second announcement.

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.240
<v SPEAKER_01>Third announcement.

<v SPEAKER_01>Over the past uh couple of years, uh, I have been blessed to be able to serve here as the shepherd of this uh community.

00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:58.599
<v SPEAKER_01>And under the uh title that the diocese gives uh has given to me as administrator, they call a priest who was an assistant before and is kind of on the way to maybe becoming a pastor, there's a time called administrator.

00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.159
<v SPEAKER_01>And usually the term of administrator is typically two years.
