I try to smile and say hello and treat everyone like family when I attend Mass. At first I got some cold shoulders, but now everyone is friendly back. If you're not doing your part to lead a sanctified life and represent the Church proudly then you've no right to complain. Just my $.02. 😆
Yes it's good to build community.
This definitely helps! For many converts the solemn atmosphere of the mass is very jarring compared to the Protestant services they are used to. We are all welcome in Christ's church. Thank you for sharing, God bless you! B
Our priest started doing the rosary before every Sunday Mass and attendance really jumped
That's awesome! A rosary or a divine mercy chaplet with a little litany of saints is a great way to start a mass! At one of my local parishes I attend they also begin with an Angelus, and end with the Saint Michael's prayer. It's helpful to keep our minds on prayer, to "pray without ceasing" as scripture says. Thanks for tuning in, God bless you!
@@BayouBandit6 nonsense. It's been approved by the Church and promoted by Our Lady herself at Fatima and in other apparitions.
@@BayouBandit6 this is not babbling, it's a form of meditation. Why would Mary appear at Fatima and tell us to disobey her son?
@@BayouBandit6 and Mary is His mother and modern day prophet. Are you even Catholic? Jesus gave us a prayer to repeat. We repeat the Our Father multiple times. If you're not Catholic, you won't get it.
@@BayouBandit6 if the Church approves it and the messages of Fatima, a good Catholic would gladly pray it. You have a pretty sad group of Catholics there. All the popes and saints have praised the rosary. But I guess you guys know better than they do?
I still remember till When I was small kid we had a very loving, dedicated, caring western priest who love the people very much, after every mass he always stand outside the church , give his times to talk, jokes with the people, listen to them , especially the children and youth, people love him very much and love to go to church and many non catholic become catholics because of him, even now when he is not with us anyone the people still remember and miss him and always look for a Godly priest like him., So good Priest is very important for growth and rebuilding the Church.
God lived in the soul of that priest thats why people were drawn and attracted to him and were inspired by his holy words and actions .... unlike anti catholics who keep quoting scriptures but been unable to inspire people. Why? Because God does not live in their souls but nataS (reverse). Why? Because they do not obey the Word of God or they do not obey the commandments of God. The Word of God says only the Church through its leaders can interpret the scriptures correctly but they don't obey 1 Tim 3:15, Matthew 16:19, Eph 3:10, Luke 10:16 etc. They still keep interpreting by their own and twisting the Word of God, so what happened to them is nataS dwells in their soul. People with good will don't see and feel God in them but nataS.
Anti catholics are not only protestants but also rad trads and sedes. nataS also dwells in the souls of rad trads and sedes who accuse Pope Francis of wrongdoings and name call him. Have you felt God in the souls of these rad trads and sedes? No. Have you been inspired by their words and actions? No. Their bad fruits reveal the state of their soul or who dwells in their souls. Not God of course but His adversary.
nataS (reverse) also dwells in the souls of rad trads and sedes who accuse Pope Francis of heresy and name call him. Thats why their words and deeds have not been able to inspire and move people also because God is not in their souls but nataS.
@@marietav7342 I wonder who is living in YOUR soul since you choose to remain in, and worse yet advocate for a church which has such a sordid history..
The devil is likely proud of BOTH of you.
The commandments of God say "thou shalt not make any graven image"
Yet your beloved church is festooned with statues....GRAVEN IMAGES.
Hypocrisy on a scale Ive seldom seen.
God is good all the time. All the time God is good.
I think we have great Catholic church’s in Canada. They’re very traditional.
What a consolation to hear! We should pray for the growth of the church, and the conversion of Protestants, so that they come home to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church.
Great video Brothers! Thank you for the motivation to help my Parish more !
I live in the mountains and attend a Catholic Church there. It’s a sweet small mountain church. They lack worship singers and musicians. Sometimes they don’t have alter boys. I’m not a singer or musician otherwise I would volunteer. I pray for more conversions and more volunteers
That's a great way to start! Another thing you could do is lector for the church as well or become an Extraordinary Minister both for the mass and the sick and bedridden. Both are very rewarding ministries! Thanks for tuning in, God bless you!
On Epiphany Sunday this year, a beautiful church in the Parish I attend was decommissioned because of a lack of funds.
Parishioners were, and are, upset at the priest. Though most of them are CEOs (Christmas and Easter Only) because on that Sunday, it was packed. People who haven't gone in years, some decades, were there and upset at the decommissioning. A simple question ran through my mind, and has since then, what drew your attention away from The Lord and what has divided us?
1 Corinthians comes to mind when I think of these questions.
I have no ill will towards those that have fallen away for they need the Love of Christ. I pray they will come back and their heart be ever open to The Lord.
Good morning from here, glad to haeard from you today,wishing you a nice day,GBU Bryan 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Good morning! We hope you have a wonderful day as well.
A lawyer was wondering why so many people were going to see St. John Vianney, to confess to him, to hear his advice and attend his holy Mass. He wanted to find out for himself the secret of this saintly priest why so many people were so attracted to him. When he returned, someone asked him what was special about St. John Vianney that he found out as to why so many people did not care to travel very far just to see St. John Vianney. The lawyer replied with great astonishment, "I saw God in a man!"
"Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.". - John 14:23-24
Anti catholics often say this, "Don't follow any organization or any church, Pope, priests, Mary, the saints but only Jesus or the Word of God. LOL. They contradict the Word of God. You cannot separate these 2. If we don't follow the Church and the Pope and the example of the saints esp Mary, we don't follow Jesus and His Word because Jesus told us to follow Him through the Church He founded through church leaders NOT directly. (Luke 10:16). Following Jesus directly by disregarding the Church or its leaders is not following Jesus or the Word of God. In truth, following Jesus directly gravely offends The Father, the Son.and the Holy Spirit.
When a protestant says this: "Don't follow any church or the Catholic Church or the pope but only Jesus or the Word of God", IT MEANS a protestant says this: "Follow me and my personal interpretation of scriptures. I will be the one to decide how to interpret this or that bible verse. If you don't conform to my own personal interpretation of scriptures, you are wrong." LOL
Then, if you accused the anti catholic of interpreting the Bible by their own or personally, they would reply, "No, I don't interpret the Bible because the Bible interprets itself. LOL. But these anti catholics who say that they don't interpret the Bible because the Bible interprets itself don't have the same exact understanding or interpretation of scriptures. They themselves disagree with one another on how to interpret this or that bible verse. If anyone opposes their personal understanding of this or that bible passage, his opponent is wrong for them and they are the only ones right. LOL. So even if they deny that they interpret the Bible, they still interpret the Bible whether they admit it or not. They are just lying. They are liars.
No wonder why the preaching of these anti catholics have not been able to inspire us because God does not live in their souls but the enemy because they keep on lying and distorting the scriptures.
🙏🏻🙌🏻🕊🌹💪🏻
Thanks for sharing the Tools for Rebuilding🤗
I feel very fortunate to have not encountered anything even resembling a dead Church: I converted from Protestantism directly into an FSSP apostolate.
Amen, that is great news! I attend an FSSP Mass in my area on occasion, and it is beautiful to be able to experience the Tridentine Mass, the mass of my ancestors. Thank you so much for sharing, God bless you!
Lucky!

And I never see the complainers at Adoration! Could there be a connection....???
You don't see them volunteering to help with anything either.
@@Matt-1926 I attend several parishes for daily mass, depending on schedule. The people who attend adoration appear to be more involved in spiritual ministries, as they take their faith seriously.
As for "secular, worldly ministries" like writing clubs, climate change activism, etc, that draws out a different kind of folk
Wish the churches in my area actually had adoration.
@@Vexx_Line_ Any time the building is open, you may adore Christ reposed in the Tabernacle. Same thing. If it is closed, ask the secretary or others if you can be admitted for adoration.
@@Vexx_Line_ Don't just wish it go make it happen. That's what my parents did 40 years ago. They formed a small group of like minded Catholics. Approached the priest for permission to make this happen. Got a sign up sheet of people desiring 24 hour adoration and fund raised the money necessary to remodel the side room behind the altar and turned it into a chapel.
Still open to this very day.

I'm in the Northeast as well and I second how bad our youth ministry is in this area. Any advice would be appreciated. We have been working hard to get our Men's Club up and running again since Covid and have started fund raising for Church programs. I just attended a meeting last week where the Church wants to start another adult program this fall, which is great for me. However, I would love to funnel our Men's Club money into youth programs, if you have any advice for the youth it would be greatly appreciated.
The weekly rosary group worked really well for the young adult group (20-30yrs). It's popular. They meet 7pm and go out for dinner or beverage afterwards.
I've heard the same in other parishes with the weekly rosary for young adults.
As for teenagers... adoration & 1st Saturday devotions seems to be popular
Hello! Have you read the life of St. Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan? He was one of the great reformers of the Church during Counter-Reformation along with St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Philip Neri and more. I read he was able to reform also his own diocese by introducing the recitation of the Rosary to every parish in his diocese. God bless.
Although you are not a priest but a family man, you remind me of St. John Bosco because God gave him a mission of leading the youth to Him.
St. John Bosco said his foundation was founded on the Rosary.
A really nice way to integrate youth may be a book club too, something easy and accessible, like the Martyrdom of Saint Polycarp, just to get them thinking about the Church and her history. Prayer too, is a great thing for youth to get in the habit of.
A church is not buildings or denomination or a religion Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” That’s what a church is, a gathering of Christians that adores Jesus who gives praise to Jesus…. That is a church.
Hello, thank you so much for your reply. A church is both a building AND the assembly, from the Greek ekklesia. It is also a religion, but there is nothing wrong with Christianity as a religion, which is how it was always intended to be. Matthew 18:20 in its original context refers primarily to bishops, as that is directed to the apostles. Hope this helps, God bless you!
@@catholictruthreplies I wish my comment would of helped you but I don’t think so . Jesus came with a new covenant today those who belong to God have received the Holy Spirit. Christian’s are His temples not material like buildings. Hope that helped you.
@@user-fi1pe4dg3u Hello, that is correct, our bodies are his temples in which we offer worship and sacrifice, but we also do so in the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church partake of the once and for all true sacrifice of Christ in the Eucharist. This is what is meant when Jesus said to the Samarian woman that there will be a time that there will be worship of Him both in spirit and truth, and that worship is in the form of the sacrifice of Christ that we partake of as a royal priesthood. I hope this helps too!
Well the consecrated Host does need a dwelling [Tabernacle],the Church building is built to hold this Tabernacle which contains consecrated Host and a location for the worshippers [the church militant body of Christ] to gather. So yes, church buildings are necessary.
@@Vexx_Line_ 1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
Many, if not all these things have been executed in the Protestant church beautifully. Maybe someday we will not treat all our Protestant brothers and sisters as we did Martin Luther and all those "heretics".
We don't treat all Protestants like Martin Luther. That's a false assumption.
@CatholicTruthOfficial Right, I will clarify... only those Protestants who: disagree with the church about the problems she has and even possibly making wise suggestions on how to correct the church for the better. Let them be Anathema.
I agree that a lot of protestant churches (especially ‘low’ church, like evangelicals and non-denominational, as opposed to the mainline ones) do a great job developing the social life of their congregations. I’ve given some thought as to why that might be, and what we Catholics can learn from them. I think serious Catholics for the past some time have shied away from trying to make the parishes look too
much like a social hub, both because the church in the second half of the 20th century was heavily and negatively impacted by the cultural Revolution, and also because we don’t really know the boundaries surrounding the function of the church building. Is it a space primarily for worship? Is it a space exclusively for worship? Is community building something that diminishes the primary function, or builds it up? Do we run the risk of trying to look “protestant”, if we take social and cultural cues from well functioning Protestant communities?
I personally think we live in an era where it is becoming more acceptable to start taking social cues from the functionality and vibrancy of many of these Protestant communities, without dimishing the sacredness of what our worship is.
Kinda rambly. Sorry.
If you live in a larger city, there are generally a few churches that offer the traditional Latin Mass, unless the local Bishop (under orders from Frankie) shuts them down as he has been doing a lot lately.
According to the Return to Tradition channel, Frankie has actively been persecuting/silencing traditional bishops and priests as well as trying to shut down convents.
From what I have seen, as an occasional attendee of Tridentine Masses in my area, so long as it is a chapel and not a parish church there is no prohibition on the Traditional mass.
Respectfully ....quit praying to Mary ...pray to the Father ......
Respectfully, get educated. Do some actual research instead of relying on soundbite theology.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I'm an ex Catholic who has prayed the rosary a hundred times more than you ...
That doesn't mean anything. No offense. Former Catholics were almost never catechised and didn't know anything about their faith before they left. It's sad really
Also you could never know if you prayed the rosary more than someone without knowing them. That's just pride. And it doesn't matter if you prayed it but didn't understand it. Clearly you don't understand it.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I was taught by nuns .....I memorized 100 questions and answers from the catechism verbatim ......word for word ....and i was an alter boy ......
Respectfully, I will pray for you to our Mother of God that she may bring you to her as she is your mother and point you closer to her son and his Holy Catholic Church.
