Off-topic rant: My understanding is parishioners go to church and pray. I noticed in our local parish has lots of things to do. They say they are giving more: The more they give/big, the more they create something/expenses. Eventually, the people will get tired. That is what I do NOT like. It’s too much. Everything is settled: Priests hold the masses, give Sacraments, and collect money. I don’t think they (those who do NOT attend mass/worship in churches) need “help”, especially if they have everything, such as houses, computers, televisions, smartphones, whatever. For all I care, the priests can hire their own people instead of using volunteers, who are the slaves, pretty much. We volunteers got to be paid too, not so much recognition, which Father Peter expressed during a sermon one time, that the church is supposed to be reserved and not bragging. What of those who wish to remain anonymous? What happens to their “recognition”? Do y’all understand why I do NOT like attending “church”? Why not use the parents of the children who attend “private schooling” at this local parish? Surely, they are NOT too busy or too tired to participate. Sheesh!
