SPEAKER_00: Over the past week uh reflecting on this gospel and the readings.
SPEAKER_00: Father has a message for his for next Sunday.
SPEAKER_00: I forgot it yesterday too, so and we just spoke about it out here in the walkway.
SPEAKER_01: Good morning.
SPEAKER_01: Before I share with you the announcements, uh Ivan, who is our uh seminarian who's been here for the summer on a kind of internship, asked me if I could ask you a question.
SPEAKER_01: This is the question.
SPEAKER_01: Spain?
SPEAKER_01: Or Argentina?
SPEAKER_01: All right, if you can raise your okay, raise your hand if Spain.
SPEAKER_01: Whoa! Raise your hand if Argentina.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, all right.
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, are you happy, Ivan?
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
SPEAKER_01: He got he got his chance to be part of the homily, so great.
SPEAKER_01: Well, um, as many of you know, next week uh we are gonna be celebrating my installation mass as pastor of St.
SPEAKER_01: Joseph Church at be on Sunday at 4 p.m., celebrated by Bishop Timothy Fryer, and it's gonna be trilingual.
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be in English, it's gonna be in Spanish, and it's gonna be in Swahili.
SPEAKER_01: No, not Swahili.
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
SPEAKER_01: So it's gonna be a trilingual mass.
SPEAKER_01: And of course, uh, we mentioned that the 5 p.m.
SPEAKER_01: Mass that Sunday will will be canceled just for that specific Sunday.
SPEAKER_01: Now, on that Sunday, we are expecting a very big turnout uh that evening.
SPEAKER_01: I will let you know that so far we have over 50 priests who have confirmed that they will be here.
SPEAKER_01: So that's not that's not one five, that's 5-0 who have confirmed that they will be here for that mass, as well as many visitors and guests who will be coming for that celebration.
SPEAKER_01: And I I would like to officially and cordially uh invite you to that celebration.
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be a zoo that evening.
SPEAKER_01: Um, so if you are planning to be there for the installation mass next Sunday, I want to share with you a few tips and tricks to make your experience as uh as good as it can be, considering the circumstances.
SPEAKER_01: So, first thing is arrival time and parking.
SPEAKER_01: So, I highly recommend that you carpool, please carpool, and come at least 30 minutes early in order to find a spot to sit.
SPEAKER_01: At least 30 minutes early to arrive here for that mass.
SPEAKER_01: And as far as parking goes, your best bet for parking will be over at Valencia High School.
SPEAKER_01: We have confirmed with the school that the parking will be available.
SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be your best bet for parking because our our visiting clergy, you know, the 50 priests that I mentioned, we're gonna reserve space for them here as well as part of our big reception afterwards will be in the back.
SPEAKER_01: So there's not gonna be a lot of parking space here.
SPEAKER_01: The priest and we're gonna have handicapped and disabled parking.
SPEAKER_01: So your best bet will be over at Valencia High School.
SPEAKER_01: Now, do you guys also know Holy Cross Melkite Church on Madison Street?
SPEAKER_01: You guys are aware of that church?
SPEAKER_01: They have very graciously opened up their parking lot for the evening as well.
SPEAKER_01: So for those who are willing and those who are able, would love to highly encourage you to park over at Holy Cross Melkite Church.
SPEAKER_01: It is, I I walked the distance a few times.
SPEAKER_01: Uh it takes about 10 minutes to walk.
SPEAKER_01: Uh, somebody said to me, Father, that's that's really great, but you're in your 30s.
SPEAKER_01: So um so for those who are willing, those who are able, we will have uh parking in Holy Cross Melkite on Madison Street as well as Valencia.
SPEAKER_01: And if you're of able body, you know, I would love to encourage parking a little bit further, especially so our guests and visitors can more easily find some parking space.
SPEAKER_01: So that's the first thing is arrival and then the parking.
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
SPEAKER_01: Second, if you happen to come to Mass on that Sunday and you came and you're a little bit late and you find that the church is full.
SPEAKER_01: Sorry, you have to go home.
SPEAKER_01: No.
SPEAKER_01: Um, so we have prepared also overflow seating in the hall, probably about 350 seats or so.
SPEAKER_01: So if you come, the church is full.
SPEAKER_01: You know, please make your way over to the hall.
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna live stream that mass right into the hall.
SPEAKER_01: As well as those who are homebanned will have that live stream for those who are at home as well.
SPEAKER_01: So that's the overflow.
SPEAKER_01: All right.
SPEAKER_01: Third thing, we are planning a big reception to take place after the mass out on the field in part of the parking lot back there.
SPEAKER_01: Now, I did check the temperature for that Sunday.
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be in the 90s.
SPEAKER_01: Yes, and so we are looking to see, okay, what are we gonna do?
SPEAKER_01: Uh, we've been looking at tenting the area back there.
SPEAKER_01: Did you know tenting is really expensive?
SPEAKER_01: Were you you're aware about that?
SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
SPEAKER_01: We were looking at different quotes and bids for that, and like to tent that hole is like ten to twelve thousand dollars.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, but we're we're gonna discern it, we're gonna pray about it because I don't want us you guys to be sitting out in the sun, especially in 90 degree weather.
SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, we will have uh the reception back there in the the field part.
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna have some uh water and soda and maybe even wine.
SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
SPEAKER_01: We'll see if there's so that'll be a big dinner reception after the Mass.
SPEAKER_01: Uh and then last thing, you know, as we celebrate this big day, uh, if you would love to uh give a gift or a donation or you'd like to volunteer, I would be very grateful for your gift or your volunteerism for that day.
SPEAKER_01: To do that, you can scan the QR code that's in the bulletin or on the website or even visit the parish office.
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so I look forward to celebrating that day with you, even though it's gonna be a zoo that evening.
SPEAKER_01: Uh, but more importantly, I am much more looking forward to being your pastor for the next six years.
SPEAKER_01: So I just want to let you know about that.
SPEAKER_01: And thank you, thank you.
SPEAKER_01: All right.
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm gonna give it back to you.
SPEAKER_01: Now you can go, Deacon, now for for the homily.
unknown: All right.
