I think what commenter was saying if I remember when I read it and I agree in this suspicion, was that deacon Jeff most likely already lives in a parish that is similar to what we are all wanting,i.e.; largely, devout Catholics all living in a somewhat tight nit (most likely with some sort of mobility) and with a surrounding culture that allows orthodox Christians to live their faith and have a respectable career. I would imagine as (name removed by moderator) is the deacon things may seem peachy. Maybe, maybe not.
This isn’t a knock on you deacon Jeff, we all want what you got. If I am wrong then share, we want to know.
If someone were to look at the parish down the road from me it would look great. Average age is under 30, tons of different ministries, all coordinated by different members. However, daily mass youngest member is typically over 70, like a lot of other places. It is in a college town, so those are kids who don’t want to lie to their parents about basic obligations. Most of the professors are pretty liberal and are pro choice, LGBT, etc.
Granted, there may be some good ones since we last attended, we might give it another try. But it is a far cry from any Ben Op.
