During a Catholic Holy Hour this week, in which the normal attendance is 15-20 men (typical ages 40-65), the attendance doubled to 39 men (ages 25-65).

Admittedly, that is a small group. However, those men are extremely strong Catholics and many of them have children and it is highly likely that each of those men will make sure that they properly form their children in the faith.

I know that there are many similar groups that meet for Holy Hours across the country. It would be interesting to know if other similar groups have had similar increases in attendance.

Has anyone else seen similar attendance rate increase lately?
 
I don’t know of any Holy Hour devotions being held where I live (a university town with a high transient population), so I can’t compare. I do think, though, that the increase isn’t due to an increase in devotion, but an increase in worry about saving their jobs.

We’ll see if the seed falls on good soil, or on the path or among the thorny bushes.
 
Thanks for posting this. I did not know this group even existed! We’re close enough to Pittsburgh that we could attend these events. Thank you!!
