It would help if the Pastor would also remind people that chatting should be done outside before or after the Mass and not in the pews.Yup! It’s especially bad when they have difficulty hearing so they compensate by talking louder.
I think a great deal of this stems from a lack of fellowship before and after the Mass. A truly good coffee and doughnuts program after Mass would do a lot to end the chatting in many parishes.
I have also noticed that some people take the Sign of Peace as an opportunity to “visit”.
