You might have noted from the photo of the parish main building on the Who We Are page that if you walk up to where you'd expect the main entrance to be, you'll find a solid wall. That represents the wall that belonging to our parish often leaves you feeling like you're beating your head against.
Our current pastor's predecessor had also presided over a building project. (This was before we joined the parish.) That project produced a building with a main entrance so inconspicuous that perhaps 90% of people coming to Sunday Mass used a different one. The story is told that the pastor would sometimes lock that other entrance in the face of approaching parishioners to force them to use the "right" one. This idea that the plan is sound and the problem is with the people I call The Church Of The Wrong Door.
