A friend of mine was saying that the majority of people sitting in the pews of a Catholic Mass are elderly. He was speculating on what‘s going to happen to the Church when these people are no longer here? He thought the CC will die out. I noticed how the elderly are in the majority when I go to Mass and again to receive ashes today at another parish.
What will happen? Our Archdiocese has a program going on called All Things New where they are closing and consolidating some parishes, closing some schools etc. None of the parishes in my suburb were affected, though some nearby ones were. But what happens to the Church in 20 years? Will the Catholic Church shut down forever? Become a tiny religion with few parishioners? Will the younger parents who are now too busy to be involved at attending Mass start going to Church, or what? What’s going to happen to the Catholic faith?
