The harvest is potentially plentiful, especially in New York where the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life recently found 32 percent of the population reported attending worship once a week compared to a national average of 39 percent. That ranks New York as 36th among the 50 states. Mississippians were the most devout with 60 percent going to worship at least once a week. Pennsylvania ranked at the national average.
Meeting a need for Mass One non-traditional worship time has opened the doors for many Catholics in western Broome County to attend Mass.
For almost seven years, roughly 200 people have gathered on Sunday nights at St. Ambrose on Washington Avenue, according to Barbara Kane, parish life coordinator.
Catholics have long offered numerous Saturday, Sunday and weekday Masses, but the Sunday night service fills a void for those who work, travel or have other commitments that keep them from attending at traditional times.
