If you compare the number of Hispanics attending the local Spanish Mass to the number of Hispanics living in the boundaries of the Parish, you'll see that most are not in Church, and its not even close.

Not here. When Hispanics began moving into the area in large numbers, the priests actually went to their communities to celebrate mass. They have continued to add Spanish masses in all the parishes and they are still unable to accomodate the large number of Spanish speaking parishioners. There is not a huge number of Hispanics in this area. They are mostly immigrants from Mexico and are generally very hard working and very Catholic. It may not be representative of the immigrants seen in other parts of the country, but in the northern Atlanta suburbs, most of the Hispanics are practicing Catholics.
