Church on Sunday. . . Is it Important?
Many people in the diocese of Lansing don't go to church on a weekly basis, in fact, 40% to be exact! I was listening in church today and Father was saying that when Easter or Christmas comes up, around 95% of Catholics go to church. But when those days are over, the percentage drops down to 60% again. Father also told us that on Easter this year, 1,000 people became Catholics in our Lansing diocese! They were all fired up when they learned all about Catholicism.
That's why we go to church each Sunday. Every Sunday, we learn something new and it's our responsibility to spread the Word of the Gospel. If we spread the Word, maybe we can increase the percentage of people coming to weekly Mass.
I try to spread the Word each day with a changing message on our website, www.catholicschoolkid.com
