The 44 at St. Francis
Today we talk about an interesting statistic from CARA that reported nationally there are close to 4% of people attending Mass on any given Sunday who DO NOT identify as Catholic. Our parish seating capacity is close to 1100, which would mean close to 44 people at mass who are present and don't identify as Catholic. This is a huge opportunity for evangelization and a shift in leader's mindset towards these 44 would have a massive impact on our parish.Find more episodes of God in Our City, a podcast from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Grapevine, TX at www.sfatx.org/godinourcity
