There is also a rising number of native converts.

I'm one.

I was born and bred in Jackson, MS. Converted to Catholicism last year, after thinking about it for about five years.

Plus, I've had two people ask me recently, if I could share some literature with them about Catholicism. Both of them are native Mississippians as well.

Btw, mass today at the Cathedral in downtown Jackson was standing room only.

Most of us Southern Catholics are converts.

Some of us (like you) converted from Protestantism to Catholicism, and some of us (like me) converted from Northernism to Southernism. ;-)

WONDERFUL.
Standing room only.
WOW.
I think about 100 attended our 7:00AM Mass at St Paul's,
downtown Vicksburg.

Awesome to hear we are plentiful in the South! but you know I heard of the news yesterday that the NYC Dioceseis shtting down sweveral school thereby displacing 3000 Catholic school students. This saddens me and I hope in never happens to our school.
