I grew up in a parish which could have fit the demi-traditional tag - a renovated cinema with altar rails and a lively Legion of Mary and St Vincent de Paul Society and lots of great stuff. There's so much more you can do with a solid local parish rather than working with people travelling hours to attend Mass once a week.
Really enjoyed reading this piece. There's a lot of self insight that went into it. For me, it called out my melancholic tendency - that I need to be more positive and not quickly judge a parish and it's parishioners.
