The new research by the Department for Evangelisation (News from Britain and Ireland, 13 September) is very welcome as parish priests now know what is wrong with Mass attendance. Parishes ought to hold meetings to inform regular worshippers (that pesky “older generation”) that Mass times must be changed to suit those with “busy lives”. I do not know how tongue-in-cheek the report is but the cartoon by Pugh next to the article sums up the real problem perfectly.(Fr) Julia
