That is a great attendance for 7 AM.

My diocese of Harrisburg (PA) has a new Bishop. Bishop Rhoades has instituted frequent Eucharistic Adoration and is very strong on evangelicalism.

Our Pastor and his Parochial Vicar of two parishes have moved quickly. We are now having the Blessed Sacrament from 7 AM to 10 PM on Fridays. I'm scheduled for 1:30 to 2:30 PM. There will also be a class on the Eucharist at 8 PM.

Now, if we could only get the people to go to confession.

1) Offer it regularly, at specified times, more than once or twice a week. Post said times in Parish bulletin.

2) Some of these times should be open ended.

3) Preach on the meaning and necessity of the Sacrament.

The lines will form.

Get folks to go to confession?
LOL!
There's been times when I've enjoyed confessing...
like my hatred for democrats.

Your parish sounds wonderful.
