St. Matthew in Charlotte averages 12,000 people at weekend Masses -- and that's hardly the only unique things about parish life in the U.S.'s largest Catholic church.
I read 35000 in this US Church? In my parish there are 18000 parishioners in one Church of Mumbai which is 4th largest in the city But only 1200 sitting capacity with 7 masses/Sunday and 5 priests The largest Parish in Mumbai has 25000 parishioners
This is so exciting actually. Makes me feel so happy for being catholic :) I’m glad there are so many Catholics praise the Lord Jesuschrist name above all! 🌻💓
I always love the city of Charlotte NC, I live in Nigeria, my name is Mathew, I am from a strong rooted Catholic home in the first rural Catholic dioceses in the world, the Ahiara Dioceses , honestly I have seen more reason to love moving to the city of Charlotte NC. God bless the Roman Catholic Church
Christian History Favors the Catholic Church, if you were to be transported back in time 2000 years ago and see Christians worship you will see who are the real christians, Theirs one faith, One God and One Church! #Proudly_Catholic #South_Africa_Mariannhill_Diocese
God bless you all. My heart breaks over so many people calling for the destruction of my beloved church on youtube. I feel joyful and hopeful hearing about St.Mathew's. Thank you all. Peace be with each of you.
Amen only amen and amen,,, im proud because that,, im proud because i was born as a Catholic. Thanks Catholic church who built my self as a good,,, I will to be a good as You are my God where the best things at the first come from.
GREAT Catholic St Mathew. Praise God for your your serving the poor of CHRIST. THAMK YOU JESUITS PARISHIONERS FOR YOUR LOVING COMPASSION TO SERVE HUMANITY. PRISE GOD FOR YOUR LOVING HEARTS.
i go to two different parish church. one is a well-off community with about 7k parishioners mostly educated and business people. the other has about 15k parishioners mostly villagers, low educated and working class. the great contrast is how business community are so well organized and well resourced and the other, takes time to catch up. i find that they are slow to change because of educational background.
The most honest statement in the video is from the Sister with a history in Charlotte N.C. That city 35 or 40 years ago was a sleepy southern city with a mostly Protestant population. The total pop. was half of what it is now. She says that accurately. Charlotte grew into a major metro area with a much larger population OF TRANSPLANTS FROM THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST (mostly RC). Add in the immigrant Hispanics, also mostly RC. In other words, it is DEMOGRAPHICS. There have been no mass conversions. No cause for any RC triumphalism, as the church still has a major lapsed RC problem, and if you see the age of the pastor, a vocations problem.
Its the Joy of the Lord which you can find at most denominations of any size on any Sunday!....Praise to Jesus....He is my Lord, Savior, King, Righteousness and Salvation!......by the way I am not catholic...I read & study the bible for myself
Don't see kneelers Or priests giving communion on the tongue I predict that if these two prevatican II traditions returned Christ himself would bring more miracles and your attendance would quadruple!
This looks modernist. People can get this experience at any Protestant church so what is keeping them from apostaszing? The Eucharistic minister women were flinging the Body of Christ around like you'd throw a biscuit to a dog. Implement ad orientum worship and I gaurentee you people would be sitting all the way outside.
I don't think you need to belong to any church. its all show. I talk and pray to god in my own way. you are all worried about going to hell. its all about fear.
Lol, now y'all are trying to copy us. Just go to a real Bible based church (where people are actually full of the Holy Ghost) The first apostles did not teach, a priestly sacrificial (idolatrous) mass. Transubstantiation, Marian venerarion, work based religion are all non apostolic teachings. The Holy Scriptures preserves the most faithful witness of the true teachings and practices of God's holy church. Romanism is an early medieval confabulation.
Jay Paglia actually St. Paul himself taught that the bread and wine are truly the Body and Blood of Christ. It is there from the beginning. Jesus himself said"this is my Body,this is my Blood." Why argue with that?
The Catholic Church is the only church that believes that the bread and wine "is" the Body and Blood of Jesus, not a symbol, not the Body and Blood somehow floating alongside the bread and wine, but actually "is" the Body and Blood of Jesus, just as the Bible clearly states that it is. Because it is an incomprehensible teaching for many people outside the Catholic Church, they find other false ways to describe it, instead of just simply taking Jesus words at face value. Please read John 6: 60-69, those people who walked away unbelieving is the reason we have 30,000 other Christian churches who do not believe in the Eucharist the very same way the Catholic Church does, along with other teachings. Understanding what the Eucharist really is, and how significant graces are received through it, is the summit of our faith.
J Stine, He did not mean it symbolically. If He did, it would not have offended so many and sent them walking off because it was too difficult to accept what He was saying.
In my parish in a small town in India we had 850 confirmations last year.
John B Sunn Jesus be praised

Where is your Tabernacle? I do not see it in the Sanctuary?
Off to the side in it's own room.
The Tabernacle is visible to the left of the Altar to the congregation; it has it's own worship room.
God temple in Catholics heart. So many people be better.
proud Catholic
i go to two different parish church. one is a well-off community with about 7k parishioners mostly educated and business people. the other has about 15k parishioners mostly villagers, low educated and working class. the great contrast is how business community are so well organized and well resourced and the other, takes time to catch up. i find that they are slow to change because of educational background.
I love this!
I GO HERE BOOYYSSS
THAT IS THE SPIRIT,AND THE LORD IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT KEDARI
Beautiful :-)
Its not my personal idea of a beautiful Catholic Church but if the Ehucharist is there then it could be a shack and it would be sufficient.
Is the Carl Lentz' church?
Has it not been more desirable to have much smaller parishes? It is a mega parish within the one holy apostolic catholic church.
Larger parishes seems to be the trend with the priest shortage.
Amennn
Parish of kurrjong county of cook ❤️
I want to go!!!
Do u have perpetual adoration
Mt 5:17-19
Whoever keeps and teaches the law will be called great.
500 "Eucharistic Ministers"?
Do you mean "Spite Of Vatican ll" Extraordinary Ministers Of The Eucharist?
Community involvement

looks more like a gym than a church!
Jesus crist is of Lorde
haha no wonder its doing so wealthy, St Matthew former tax collector is praying for them. im sure he manages his money for the right reasons now

Smoked Pork Ribs it's not about how it looks in the parts you see
I think people have had enough of organized religion and creeds and dogmas. Free thinking allowed.
I don't think you need to belong to any church. its all show. I talk and pray to god in my own way. you are all worried about going to hell. its all about fear.
Eucharistic ministers, eh?
Host-defilers is more like it.
"Catholic" parish.
pfffft trads in the comment section reminds you of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and scribes..
