The truth is Catholic churches built to hold hundreds now have a handful at mass.

Some do. Mine was built in the 1840's, is in a depressed inner-city neighborhood, is now a mission run out of a neighboring parish, and offers 1 mass per week.

And that Mass is SRO, and most of the adults in the congregation are in their 30's or early 40's, with loads of kids in tow.

That's good news! Although it is only thirty years or so old, our little parish church is almost always full at all three Sunday masses, too. Yes, that's three.

And its mostly people under 50 with lots of little kids.
