If you don't have a mass at 1 pm in the afternoon the Mexicans won't go. They'll be out at 6 am during the week to look for work but on Sunday they must sleep in very late. And as for the Dominicans, you hardly ever see them. Years ago the Puerto Rican, Columbian, Peruvian and Cuban would attend mass and send their kids to catholic schools, today it's a different country and different story.

When I lived in the Bronx, half the Dominicans I encountered were Protestants, usually Seventh Day Adventists, Assembly of God, or Baptist. There has been ALOT of missionary activity there since we sent in the Marines in the 1960s.

The two Dominican girls that I dated never went to mass, nor did their parents. They told me that in DR, Catholicism is about festivals and pageantry, not belief.
