Dramatic increase in Scottish Mass attendance since Holy Father’s visit

Now that’s what I call a silver lining over the dark cloud in the UK during the Pope’s visit!

I hope this is a permanent increase, but I fear this will only be temporary. Everybody is fired up from the Papal visit and may be feeling somewhat curious or reinvigorated, but will they stick it out after time has elapsed and they are no longer as curious or feeling reinvigorated? That would be a great sign if the heightened attendance carried on through more than a few months.

When people come back…I believe its possible that the Holy SPirit brought them there…then I believe its up to the regular parishioners to step in for Christ and show an interest in them and let them know they are glad to have them back

just my 2 cents

The local shepards has their role as well…if only our priests and pastors would speak with conviction and courage.
