Sounds like your parish is flourishing. Do you think it is mainly a combination of lapsed returnees and new immigrants?
A little of both as well as people from other parishes doing their parish-hopping thing.
Our priest is an excellent preacher and teacher, and I think that has a lot to do with it.
Many people can sit in the congregation, and after Mass I hear statements such as “He was talking straight to me. How did he know?”
And I would say I hear that statement about every three months — for people to say something positive like that — multiply by ten at least.
