In Detroit, a group of Catholics borrowed the idea of flash mobs for “Mass mobs” to help revitalize urban churches.

Every month, a group called Detroit Mass Mobs picks a church, spreads the word on Facebook — and just like that, it fills up and buzzes with the energy it once had.

Great post, many thanks–I pray this is copied by many cities across the country, Let’s get more active in joyfully celebrating our Christianity: when was your last pilgrimage, retreat, Bible study, faith-sharing, Christian service, etc?

A great idea but I wonder how parking/traffic is handled.

I used to live in Oak Park and know four churches there. Maybe someone can do a mass-mob in front of that church on Austin Ave.

In front of the church? I pray they go inside and worship.
