At Mass yesterday, a letter was read from Arch Bishop of new Orleans stating that Mass attendance is way off and wants all to contact family members and invite them to go to Mass. I wonder why attendance is down?

I’m so glad that my wife and I went to Mass Sunday. It’s been 5 years, only because of the abuse of young boys which we could not tolerate. I know that it was only a few Priest but you would be wondering. Is he one of them. We had a large number of boy’s involved in this and they will NEVER forget this. It makes me sick. The Catholic Church here is having to sell off church properties to get money to pay lawsuits and pay out to these boys, now men. They are also asking the Catholic schools to chip in part of tuition paid for the students. They have gone up on money due to the tune of $10,000 for my two grand boys. I don’t know how much it will be this year. Lord pray for the Catholic Church here in New Orleans, and I know it is like this all over the United States.
