What would it be ?
I'd like to see a substantial number of people start regularly going to confession. At present, I'd say it's only about 0-3 a week, which isn't healthy.

LOL....I too am parishless right now; however I wish the Byzcaths in my old parish would bother to read a few books or *gulp*, surf the net and explore the history of their own faith.

Our parish priests do a lot of pastoral counseling in their offices and no doubt confessions. How can really tell what is going on during the work week? I love the comment about "youth". Very funny. Too bad its true.

I suppose that's possible Orest, but I have had a surprising number of people tell me they never go to confession at all.

If I never went to Confession, I certainly wouldn't brag about it!

Two things not one I am afraid. #1. The people would be more responsive to the working of the Holy Spirit. #2 They would contribute more!  Stephanos I

Fr. Serge Find me a decent-paying job in a Dublin Bank, and we'll talk! I'll even try to arrange financing for a church building! Dn. Robert
