Where is Catholic life strongest?

[Christphr]

Is there anywhere in the USA where Catholicism has a strong enough presence, so that the culture is less secular and more specifically Catholic?

 

[Kei]

Monasteries I suppose.

Ave Maria, Florida. It is a planned ‘college town’.

 

[Anicette]

In the historical places of catholic implantation perhaps… (Maryland?)
I am not said that the culture around is less secular or they are “better” catholics, but there are more Catholics than in the South for exemple…

Strong faith resides within us.
You can’t mandate, schedule, or orchestrate devotion.
Where you are, there is a chance for great love to thrive.

If you can’t find that, why don’t you help spread it?

In Boston MA they have St. Clement’s Eucharistic Shrine (a religious order shrine) which is a VERY vibrant community of young Catholics. The majority (about 99%) of those who attend are from college age to age 40. These young Catholics have daily Mass, scripture sharing weekly, Bible Study weekly, and Perpetual Adoration. Other Catholic Churches wanted to set up Young Adult groups and would ask the Archdiocese for help and the Archdiocese had to acknowledge that St. Clement’s had the best Young Adult group in the area.
