people go there to study and stuff

so when they're studying there they just go to the chapel for mass

it also helps that there's 40k people in my uni I suppose

I think the beauty of the church has something to do with it as well

well there's 20k at mine and the most who ever comes to mass is like 6 people

F

yall should create a student org

and work from there

the Church is literally attached to one of the residential halls with several hundred students there and not a single one comes

we have a campus catholic student org and most events are done through there

we have one

do they do shit

?

idk I'm not a pastor

I try to invite my friends to mass ( Novus Ordo but still better than nothing)

but it's mostly run by philipino NO types who don't even show up to any masses or events

yeah

that's your problem

Fr does a very trad NO (pretty much a low mass in vernacular) every day and OP mass on Fridays and Dominican feast days

that's my parish (mostly)

we have a 6pm mass with bass guitar which kinda sucks

he wants to start having bbqs etc after mass sometimes and doing more bible studies and stuff outside of just mass during the days so students can come

our 3 Frs, 2 are youngtrads and 1 is a 50 something year old, really nice guy

3 priest wowe

BBQs after mass is a great way to boost attendance

yeet

our bishop visits regularly as well

he used to anyway

we have like 3 priests in the whole city who would say the latin mass, and one of them is FSSP

before he passed

i heard a new one is coming

Fr Youngtrads are pushing hard for more TLM and also ad orientem

but old father is hesistant

he actually does a NO in Latin every friday, but he's afraid that letting the parish become too trad will actually drive out people

I really wish there was more outreach from the trad community here, there barely seems any. The only thing I see from the FSSP parish I go to is mass times in the Archdiocese newspaper

all the dudes in the frat are trad or trad leaning, and the regular attendees are too which is amazing

There's one inner-city parish which has a young priest who has been very very slowly and pastorally trad-ifying his boomer parish and having great success. I think he's starting to do a Latin mass once a week

but trad can mean anything from "I dont think women serving and guitars are a good idea" to full blown "only TLM REEEE"

yeah true

most of the people I talk to are the prior

same, not sure I know anyone like the latter in person
