Our church keeps getting people. The church is packed more than it ever was.

Same in my parish...and the other 5 parishes in our deanery

There wasn’t enough pew space to accommodate the overflow attendance at last Sunday’s 10 AM Mass-—and this was repeated at the 7 PM Mass the same day. We have 5 Masses every Sunday.

My parish seats about 800. The other 4 parishes are smaller, each seating about 500. Each of these parishes has 4 Masses each Sunday.
At my parish, the morning daily Mass attendance is at least 150. At a neigboring parish,they have a morning and an evening daily Mass schedule. The daily evening Mass is well attended, as many people attend on their way home from work.
